UNSPSC 44111524: Waste-paper basket

A basket or other container for waste paper, etc.

UNSPSC 44111524 Waste-paper basket is a Commodity code covering general office supplies procurement, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on broad office supplies catalogs and fixture inventories rather than waste baskets as standalone line items. School districts and county governments source office supplies—including paper products, toner, furniture, and accessories—through multi-vendor catalog bids and indefinite-quantity contracts that allow district and county employees to purchase on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term. Issuing bodies under this code include independent school districts in Texas and county procurement offices in New Mexico, both seeking vendors capable of maintaining large inventories and meeting fill-rate and delivery-speed requirements.

Recent activity centers on Texas and New Mexico. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued RFP 011326869 for office supplies and furniture with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, seeking multiple vendors to provide discount pricing off catalog lists for the 2026–2027 school year with options to extend through 2029. Bernalillo County, New Mexico, issued RFB 34-26 for office supplies with a response deadline of February 20, 2026, targeting an estimated annual spend of approximately $316,000 across 40 departments and 135 delivery locations, requiring vendors to maintain at least 10,000 items in inventory with 96% fill rates on core items and next-day or two-day delivery capability. Both solicitations award to multiple vendors, include shipping and handling in quoted prices on an F.O.B. Destination basis, and require electronic bid submission through procurement portals.
