UNSPSC 24141607: Cardboard inserts

UNSPSC 24141607 Cardboard inserts is a Commodity code that covers corrugated and cardboard packaging materials, boxes, and related shipping and storage containers that state and local governments procure for operational and administrative use. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying corrugated trash boxes, dimensional cardboard boxes, and related supplies to support custodial operations, special collections management, and general departmental needs. The work spans micro purchases—typically under the $45,000 threshold—awarded on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis, either as a whole or by line item at the buyer's discretion. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices and independent school districts.

Recent activity centers on the City of Philadelphia and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas. Philadelphia posted three opportunities in the past two months: corrugated trash boxes (B2728008, due September 25, 2026); boxes measuring 17¼"×11¼"×12" under IFB procedures (B2727864, due September 9, 2026); and a Special Collections micro purchase (B2728059, due October 8, 2026). All three Philadelphia solicitations are micro purchases awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder through the city's PHLContracts eProcurement platform, with pricing held firm for the contract term and no delivery authorized until formal department notification. Northside Independent School District solicited custodial supplies via RFP 2026-071 (due June 4, 2026), replacing an expiring contract; vendors were required to include all shipping and handling costs to the San Antonio location. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Pennsylvania based on the recent record.
