UNSPSC 44122116: Bag clips

UNSPSC 44122116 Bag clips, a Commodity code, covers fastening devices for plastic bags procured by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. State and local procurement under this code encompasses plastic bag supplies — both single-use trash and recycle bags and reusable shopping tote bags — procured by city governments and transit authorities. The City of Richardson, Texas solicited an Invitation to Bid for an annual requirements contract supplying polyethylene recycle and trash bags in multiple sizes and closure types (wire ties, flaps, drawstrings) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $300,000, requiring compliance with ASTM testing standards, five customer references, and demonstration of municipal contracting experience. The Agency for Community Transit (ACT), a division of the Madison County Mass Transit District in Illinois, included reusable shopping tote bags among promotional items for the RideFinders Program, requiring vendors to purchase, imprint, and ship 1,500 units to the agency's Pontoon Beach, Illinois headquarters by April 23, 2026, with award made on lowest cumulative quote.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois, with the Richardson procurement representing the largest and most directly aligned solicitation. The source shows limited recent opportunities tagged to this code; the Richardson IFB (due April 28, 2026) is the most substantial representation of active state and local buying in bag-related products under this classification. Issuing bodies are primarily city governments and public transit authorities. Vendors responding to these solicitations must meet specific technical specifications (film thickness, dart impact strength, five-foot drop tests for filled bags), maintain physical business locations within defined geographic radii, provide references demonstrating municipal supply experience, and comply with federal funding requirements when CMAQ grants or similar sources apply.
