UNSPSC 24141601: Bubble wrap

UNSPSC 24141601 Bubble wrap (Commodity) covers protective packaging materials—including bubble wrap and similar air-filled or foam-based cushioning products—that state and local governments procure for equipment shipping, storage protection, and general warehouse operations. State and local buyers source bubble wrap through general supply contracts, often bundled with other miscellaneous warehouse consumables rather than as a standalone line item. School districts, counties, and municipal departments represent the primary issuing bodies, typically purchasing through small competitive bids or as part of broader facilities and maintenance supply agreements.

Recent activity shows Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issuing RFP2026094 on June 17, 2026, for miscellaneous warehouse supplies with a due date of July 9, 2026. The solicitation required bidders to include shipping and handling costs in sealed proposals, with delivery to San Antonio. Geographic activity under this code concentrates in Texas; no other jurisdictions appear in the recent opportunities block. Procurement velocity under this Commodity code is sparse, reflecting the routine, low-dollar nature of bubble wrap purchasing—typically managed through standing supply agreements, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or small competitive buys rather than full formal solicitations.
