UNSPSC 24140000: Packing supplies

UNSPSC 24140000 Packing supplies is a Family code covering consumable materials used to contain, protect, and transport goods—including disposable food service supplies, laboratory safety apparel, janitorial and operational supplies, and related packaging materials. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through counties (Hillsborough County, Pasco County), school districts (Austin ISD, Pasadena ISD, Garland ISD, Birdville ISD), and universities (University of Wisconsin-Madison). Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying disposable bowls for school nutrition services, disposable food service supplies, laboratory safety clothing and accessories, and janitorial supplies for fire rescue departments and county operations on an as-needed or annual contract basis. The mix reflects operational consumption across food service, facilities maintenance, and public safety functions rather than construction or capital equipment procurement.

Activity is concentrated in Texas (Austin ISD, Pasadena ISD, Garland ISD, Birdville ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County), with secondary representation from Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin-Madison). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies to the Fire Rescue Department, with bids due July 24, 2026 and an estimated one-year contract value of $765,679.84; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP011 for disposable 6 oz bowls for food service, with proposals due July 8, 2026; University of Wisconsin-Madison's RFB 2026-UWMSN-01371 for disposable food service supplies, due July 27, 2026; and Garland ISD's RFP 9-27 for disposable products for Student Nutrition Services, due March 24, 2026. The code also captures ancillary industry-event activity in Florida and Texas (NIGP reverse trade shows, vendor forums, open houses) that position suppliers to learn about emerging packing-supplies demand across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.
