UNSPSC 31261501: Plastic housings or cabinets

UNSPSC 31261501 Plastic housings or cabinets is a Commodity code covering plastic storage and containment products—bins, cabinets, and similar enclosures—that state and local governments procure for operational inventory management and equipment storage. Recent solicitations show purchases of branded plastic storage bins with integrated label holders, shelf-compatible dimensions, and stackable designs, typically in the hundreds of units per order. Issuing bodies span county purchasing divisions (Gwinnett County Financial Services) and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The code appears to draw primarily from operational needs at individual county departments and electoral offices rather than from large-scale infrastructure or specialized-equipment procurements.

Activity under the code is geographically dispersed. Recent opportunities posted in Georgia (Gwinnett County IWQ 131147 for 800 Magnum Hopper Bins and 200 Stackable Bins, due June 9, 2026, as an informal written quotation) and through Sourcewell (a Minnesota-based local government cooperative serving Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, with an RFP #061626 due June 16, 2026) suggest ongoing procurement demand in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, though the Sourcewell opportunity is framed as law enforcement equipment and may not represent core activity under this code's nominal scope. The Gwinnett County solicitation is representative of the concrete work being bought: unit pricing on an FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid basis, with delivery by a fixed date and low administrative barriers to entry (no bonding, single lowest-responsive-and-responsible-vendor award).
