UNSPSC 24141601: Bubble wrap

UNSPSC 24141601 Bubble wrap, a Commodity code, describes protective packaging materials state and local governments procure as components of broader warehouse supply, office supply, and materials-handling purchases. Recent solicitations show bubble wrap being requested as part of mixed warehouse-supply buys rather than as a standalone line item; it appears alongside other packing and shipping materials in district and municipal procurement activity. The code captures consumable protective packaging used across schools, cities, counties, and special-purpose districts for shipping, storage, and materials protection—typically ordered through general supplies contracts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or blanket warehouse agreements rather than dedicated single-product solicitations.

Activity under the code is geographically dispersed across Texas and Wisconsin based on recent postings. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued RFP2026094 for miscellaneous warehouse supplies with delivery to San Antonio and a response date of July 9, 2026, a representative mixed-materials procurement where bubble wrap would likely be included. The City of Madison, Wisconsin posted RFP 1500802026 in March 2026 for city-wide printing and mailing services—a less typical match for a bubble-wrap code, suggesting some classification mismatch in state and local notice systems. The limited recent activity specifically tagged to this Commodity code and the absence of dedicated bubble-wrap solicitations indicate this category remains a low-visibility, high-fragmentation procurement area where demand is embedded in larger warehouse and supply contracts rather than driven by standalone demand signals.
