UNSPSC 31261501: Plastic housings or cabinets

UNSPSC 31261501 Plastic housings or cabinets, a Commodity code, sees state and local procurement activity focused narrowly on plastic storage and containment solutions — primarily modular bins, stackable crates, and specialized enclosures used by county departments for inventory management, evidence storage, and operational logistics. The code draws solicitations from county purchasing offices and special-purpose districts; Gwinnett County Financial Services and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners appear as recent buyers. Work under this code emphasizes specifications for integrated features such as label holders, standardized footprints to fit existing shelving, and durability for repeated handling and environmental exposure, with vendors expected to propose equivalents when off-the-shelf products do not precisely match county inventory infrastructure.

Recent activity is sparse and geographically limited. Gwinnett County in Georgia issued an informal written quotation (IWQ) in June 2026 for 800 ULINE Magnum Hopper Bins and 200 stackable plastic bins, with delivery due July 10, 2026, and award based on lowest responsive and responsible bid on an FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid basis. Hillsborough County in Florida and Sourcewell (on behalf of multiple Washington counties and nationwide participating entities) have posted solicitations for related equipment but show limited direct alignment with plastic housings and cabinets proper — Hillsborough's March 2026 ITB for galvanized steel pallets and its ITB for cat condos and towers, and Sourcewell's broader June 2026 RFP for law enforcement equipment, diverge materially from the code's stated scope. The code shows minimal sustained demand signal in recent months; opportunities appear episodic and driven by specific departmental inventory needs rather than cyclical procurement patterns.
