UNSPSC 48102106: Cool containers

UNSPSC 48102106 Cool containers, a Commodity code, encompasses insulated beverage and food storage products that state and local governments procure for operational and field use. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for ice chests and coolers, often with customized branding, supplied on an as-needed basis to fire departments, public safety operations, and law enforcement agencies. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, cities, and cooperative purchasing entities serving multiple jurisdictions. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Philadelphia represent direct municipal buyers, while Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, aggregates demand across participating counties and public entities in Washington and nationwide to establish framework agreements for law enforcement equipment that may include cooling and storage products.

Recent opportunities include an ITB issued by Hillsborough County Fire Rescue (posted July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies estimated at $765,679.84 annually, where cool containers would be among the line-item offerings for 47 fire stations operating continuously; a micro purchase issued by the City of Philadelphia (posted May 15, 2026, due May 29, 2026) for ice chest coolers with custom logo printing; and a broad cooperative RFP issued by Sourcewell on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) to establish law enforcement equipment contracting solutions for multiple participating jurisdictions. The geographic concentration reflects recent activity in Florida, Pennsylvania, and the Pacific Northwest, with ongoing cooperative procurement activity spanning multiple states through Sourcewell's framework model.
