UNSPSC 52141606: Laundry baskets

UNSPSC 52141606 Laundry baskets (Commodity) covers mobile storage bins and related containment products for municipal waste, recycling, and facility operations. State and local governments procure these items as operational supplies for public works, sanitation, and facility management functions. The code encompasses plastic poly bins with casters, nestable designs, and specialized containers for refuse and recycling collection. Issuing bodies include cities (Philadelphia, Richardson) and county governments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington state), along with municipal cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell. The work is relatively straightforward procurement of standardized products with technical specifications around dimensions, materials, durability, and color coding for waste-stream separation.

Recent activity spans multiple states with representation in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. The City of Philadelphia issued an IFB (solicitation B2728107, due October 6, 2026) for a 16-bushel poly box truck with specific dimensional and material requirements under a micro purchase capped at $45,000, with a fixed 365-day contract term. The City of Richardson released an RFP (solicitation 70526, due June 16, 2026) for an annual requirements contract covering recycle and trash bags in four polyethylene types with annual volumes up to 35,000 rolls and options for four one-year extensions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative vehicle, posted an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of participating governmental entities across the United States and Canada, though the specific products under this commodity code within that broader solicitation are not detailed in the available documentation. Philadelphia and Richardson appear as near-simultaneous, concrete procurements with clear specification and volume signals; the Sourcewell vehicle provides broader reach through cooperative framework pricing.
