UNSPSC 47121701: Trash bags

UNSPSC 47121701 Trash bags (Commodity) encompasses trash and debris capture devices and related stormwater treatment equipment that state and local governments procure to manage waste collection and environmental compliance. Recent solicitations show the code captures not consumer-grade trash bags but engineered stormwater treatment and solids-removal systems — hydrodynamic separators, gross solids removal devices, catch basin inserts, automatic retractable screens, cartridge filters, biological treatment devices, and in-line trash capture systems designed to operate under hydraulic surcharge and handle high-flow storm events. Issuing bodies include county public works departments and municipalities pursuing water quality and environmental cleanup mandates, often leveraging state grant programs and local revenue measures to fund infrastructure upgrades.

The County of Orange, California Public Works released RFP0802736403WH on January 22, 2025, seeking a five-year Master Agreement panel for trash and debris capture devices to support stormwater treatment across Orange County and San Diego City municipalities under the Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program. The RFP, with a March 6, 2025 proposal deadline, evaluates respondents on qualifications, experience, technical expertise, project approach, staffing, and organizational capability across 600 scoring points, with set-aside preferences for Orange County Local Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises. Contractors must provide 10-year warranties, detailed cost breakdowns for design, engineering, fabrication, installation, and annual maintenance, and accept a fixed-fee structure with first-year price-increase restrictions and 180-day advance notice requirements for subsequent escalations.
