UNSPSC 44101608: Paper shredder bag

Paper shredder bags or sacks are either attached to paper shredding machines to collect the shredded paper or the shredder sack can itself be made from fully recyclable paper which allows full documents to be kept inside the sack and then sack and contents can be shredded to ensure complete protection.

UNSPSC 44101608 Paper shredder bag is a Commodity code that captures secure document destruction and shredding services rather than consumable bags — state and local procurement offices are buying managed shredding programs, both on-site and off-site, with security protocols and flexible pricing structures tailored to institutional volume and frequency. The issuing bodies include state judicial systems and education cooperatives serving school districts. Scope spans recurring scheduled destruction, one-time purge services, secure media destruction, and both container-based and labor-hour pricing models, with vendors required to disclose all ancillary fees (fuel, environmental, recycling, administrative, portal charges) upfront.

Recent activity shows the Administrative Office of the Courts soliciting on behalf of the District Court of Maryland via IFB K27003225 (due October 30, 2026) for statewide shredding services across all twenty-three Maryland counties and Baltimore City; and the Educational Community Purchasing Alliance (ECPA), a cooperative of eight Indiana education service centers, soliciting via competitive sealed proposal ECPA92526 (due October 23, 2026) for a three-year cooperative contract with up to two one-year renewals serving Indiana K-12 public school corporations, charter schools, and educational service centers. The ECPA opportunity permits regional or statewide bidding, weights pricing at 40 of 100 evaluation points, and imposes a 1.5% administrative fee on all contract sales payable to ECPA but not recoverable from participating districts. Maryland and Indiana represent the current visible geography for this code.
