UNSPSC 24141708: Parcel handles

UNSPSC 24141708 Parcel handles is a Commodity code covering material-handling hardware and supplies that state and local governments procure for warehouse, logistics, and administrative operations. Recent opportunities show this code capturing broader warehouse supply bundles rather than parcel handles in isolation — Northside Independent School District solicited miscellaneous warehouse supplies (RFP 2026094, due July 9, 2026) that bundled handles, fasteners, storage containers, and other consumables into a single sealed-bid procurement for delivery to San Antonio, Texas. The City of Madison, Wisconsin's Request for Proposals for city-wide printing and mailing services (1500802026, due April 3, 2026) included mail finishing, document handling, and related logistics work that may touch handles and material-handling equipment as part of larger service delivery. School districts and municipal offices represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, typically bundling handles with other warehouse or logistics supplies into routine replenishment procurements.

Activity under the code concentrates in Texas and Wisconsin based on the recent postings, with Texas showing school district demand and Wisconsin reflecting municipal printing and logistics services. The Northside ISD procurement required bidders to include shipping and handling costs in sealed bids with no pre-bid meeting or Q&A cycle disclosed. The City of Madison RFP required comprehensive insurance (general liability $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation, automobile liability $1,000,000 combined single limit, environmental impairment liability $2,000,000 per incident, and umbrella liability $2,000,000), allocated 65 technical evaluation points and 35 financial points, and set a two-year initial contract term with three optional one-year renewals; bidders with 15 or more employees and $50,000 or more in annual aggregate business had to submit an Affirmative Action Plan within 30 days of contract execution. No contract values or set-aside designations were disclosed in either opportunity.
