UNSPSC 46182406: Pass box

A facility that prevents the inflow of polluted air or outflow of clean air enabling passage of goods through a wall mounted aperture or box. Adaptable for areas with different levels of cleanliness.

UNSPSC 46182406 Pass box is a Commodity code that covers portable sanitation and hygiene infrastructure deployed during emergency response and disaster operations, including portable restrooms, hand wash stations, shower facilities, and related waste removal and wastewater management services. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily through emergency management and disaster response programs, with the Oregon Department of Human Services, Collier County Emergency Management Division, and Galveston County among recent buyers establishing standby vendor pools for rapid deployment during declared emergencies, severe weather events, and mass care operations. The work involves both equipment provision (portable facilities, tarps, temporary structures) and labor services (installation, maintenance, waste removal, laundry) activated on an as-needed basis during active incidents rather than on a predictable schedule.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. The Oregon Department of Human Services issued a Request for Application on May 13, 2026 (due December 31, 2026) for on-call hygiene services to support emergency mass care at shelters throughout Oregon, seeking vendors to provide portable restrooms, hand wash stations, showers, laundry, and waste removal on a price-agreement basis with no minimum purchase guarantee. Collier County, Florida issued an RFP in February 2026 (proposals due March 18, 2026) for Major Incident Standby Services including sanitation packages and temporary structures, with historical annual spending around $1.2 million and FEMA compliance requirements. Galveston County, Texas issued a push package RFP on February 26, 2026 (due March 27, 2026) for equipment and services deployable during hurricanes, floods, and declared emergencies. Oregon encourages COBID-certified small businesses and disadvantaged enterprises; Collier County applies local vendor preference and prevailing wage standards on FEMA-funded contracts exceeding $100,000; Galveston County references potential small business set-asides in its complete documentation. Response requirements are stringent—Collier County mandates 12-hour mobilization and 96-hour full delivery with 24/7 capability and annual training participation.
