UNSPSC 47131703: Sanitary waste receptacles

UNSPSC 47131703 Sanitary waste receptacles (Commodity) covers trash cans, waste bins, and related receptacles that state and local governments procure for offices, schools, facilities, and outdoor spaces. Recent solicitations show steady demand across school districts, municipalities, and county agencies for both standalone receptacles and integrated waste-management packages bundled with liners, bags, and janitorial supplies. The code captures both narrow, equipment-specific buys—such as Philadelphia's micro-purchase for correctional-facility-grade dust pans—and broader consumables contracts where receptacles appear as line items within larger operational-supplies procurements. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD San Antonio, Cobb County School District, Polk County schools), county governments (Hillsborough County, Orange County), municipal departments (City of Dallas, City of Orlando, City of Philadelphia), and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple school systems (Cooperative Purchasing Agency, Georgia). School districts and county agencies dominate recent activity, often bundling receptacles with paper products, cleaning chemicals, and trash liners in single consolidated buys rather than purchasing receptacles in isolation.

Recent activity spans the Southeast, Texas, and California. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies to 47 fire stations (estimated value $765,679.84, bids due July 24, 2026), which includes waste receptacles as a line item; Orange County's IFB 012-3043003-2-LS for 7 waste receptacles with liners for a regional park renovation (due April 22, 2026); the City of Dallas's five-year master-agreement solicitation BC26-00029656 for janitorial supplies and trash bags (due May 29, 2026, $100 bid security, local preference and SBE participation goals); and Cobb County School District's solicitation B27046 for custodial equipment to all district locations (estimated $550,000 expenditure over the contract term, bids due September 23, 2026). The Cooperative Purchasing Agency's bid 2027-001 for custodial stock supplies serving 35 Georgia school systems (due September 30, 2026) explicitly lists trash cans and liners among approximately 60 line items, with delivery to CPA's Cleveland, Georgia warehouse and contract terms running January through December 2027. Most contracts are one year with optional renewals; pricing is firm and FOB destination; and awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, though several issuing bodies reserve the right to make line-item or multi-vendor awards.
