UNSPSC 52141540: Vacuum Bag Sealer

Food storage system that vacuum-seals food into cut-to-size plastic bags.

UNSPSC 52141540 Vacuum Bag Sealer is a Commodity code that state and local governments apply to sourcing of polyethylene recycle and trash bags in standardized sizes and colors. The City of Richardson's RFP for an annual requirements contract reflects the actual procurement: municipalities buy bags meeting ASTM film-thickness and impact-strength standards in bulk quantities (100 to 35,000 rolls or boxes annually across multiple line items), with closure options including wire ties, flaps, or drawstrings, and often a preference for post-consumer recycled content. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily municipal purchasing offices, which typically consolidate annual or multi-year bag supply through single-vendor or limited-vendor contracts to ensure consistency and simplify logistics across city departments and waste-management operations.

The City of Richardson (Texas) posted RFP 70526 on May 21, 2026, with a proposal due date of June 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time and a pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 28, 2026 via Zoom. The scope requires demonstrated experience supplying recycle and trash bags to similarly sized municipalities with three references from jurisdictions served within the past three years. Evaluation emphasizes price (30 points), qualifications and experience (30 points), specification compliance and added value (30 points), and reputation (10 points). The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year extensions. Awards are anticipated four to six weeks after proposal opening. Proposers with ten or more full-time employees must certify compliance with Texas prohibitions on boycotting Israel and energy companies if contract value exceeds $100,000.
