UNSPSC 53121602: Duffel bags

UNSPSC 53121602 Duffel bags is a Commodity code capturing soft-sided carryall products procured by state and local governments for operational use, organizational distribution, and departmental needs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing rolling teacher bags with file pockets, tote bags for tree distribution programs, and bulk bags for water treatment facilities — a mix that reflects both specialized purpose-built bags and general-use carryalls across different agency functions. The code draws activity from city procurement offices, county commissioners, and special-purpose departments within municipalities. Buyers range from large metropolitan areas to mid-sized cities, with purchasing patterns driven by departmental operational calendars and event-support initiatives rather than a concentrated supplier base.

Activity clusters in Texas and Florida, with recent solicitations from the City of Philadelphia, City of San Antonio (Parks and Recreation tote bags), City of Dallas (bulk bags for water treatment), City of Richardson (embroidered items contract), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase RFQ on August 31, 2026 for 15 rolling teacher bags with expandable file pockets and detachable trolleys, due September 11, 2026, under PHLContracts; the City of San Antonio issued a formal invitation for bids on April 27, 2026 for tote bags to support the Parks and Recreation Department's tree giveaway program, distributing over 10,000 trees annually across fifty events; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies (including bags) with an estimated annual value of $765,679.84 and a response deadline of July 24, 2026. Purchases range from single-line micro buys under $45,000 to multi-year requirements contracts, with most responses due within 10 to 45 days of posting.
