UNSPSC 24141701: Paper tubes or cores

UNSPSC 24141701 Paper tubes or cores is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses materials handling and logistics related to recyclable materials processing and transport rather than the manufacture or sale of paper tubes themselves. State and local governments solicit under this code for transportation and logistics services tied to recyclable material streams, including commingled single-stream recyclables. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners and municipal waste and recycling departments that manage solid waste collection and processing infrastructure. The scope of work involves pickup and transport of recyclable materials from designated collection points to processing facilities on an as-needed or scheduled basis, with pricing typically structured on a per-ton or per-load basis. Vendors are expected to own or control the equipment and tools necessary to perform transportation services and must demonstrate financial capability and past performance in materials handling and transport operations.

Recent activity centers on Florida, where Pasco County Board of County Commissioners posted IFB-KM-26-091 on May 20, 2026, due June 16, 2026, for as-needed commingled recyclables transportation with contract commencement August 24, 2026, through September 30, 2031, and optional two-year extensions. The procurement applies a local vendor preference for bidders maintaining a physical business address in Pasco County or neighboring counties (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, or Hernando) for at least twelve months prior to the bid opening date. Successful bidders must provide a Performance Bond equal to 525 times the total of load prices and maintain comprehensive insurance including general liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $1,000,000, and pollution liability of $1,000,000. The solicitation structure is a requirements contract with no guaranteed minimum purchase and payment on a per-load or per-ton basis subject to a not-to-exceed amount, with liquidated damages of $600 per calendar day assessed for failure to complete work as specified.
