UNSPSC 57020102: Humanitarian logistic delivery and warehousing

Specializes in organizing the delivery and warehousing of supplies during natural disasters or complex emergencies to the affected area and people.

UNSPSC 57020102 Humanitarian logistic delivery and warehousing is a Commodity code that encompasses warehouse storage, inventory tracking, and on-demand deployment of medical equipment and supplies for public health emergencies, as well as facility preparation and logistics support services. State and local governments buying under this code procure climate-controlled storage capacity, handling and shipping services for medical devices and emergency supplies, and specialized cleaning and securing of structures. The issuing bodies include state health agencies, city departments of procurement on behalf of code enforcement and public safety divisions, and regional transit authorities. The work ranges from year-round warehouse management with 24/7 access requirements to as-needed facility maintenance and removal services.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, California, and South Dakota. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) on behalf of the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) issued Invitation for Bids HHS0017028 in May 2026 for warehouse storage, tracking, and deployment services for durable medical equipment in the Austin area, requiring up to 75,000 square feet of climate-controlled space with a contract start date of July 1, 2026, and historical spend of $772,820 from September 2024 to present. The City of Atlanta Department of Procurement solicited clean and close services through Invitation for Bid IFB/GS/APD/2606-1260226 in June 2026, with proposals due July 10, 2026, covering planning, permitting, salvaging, and removal activities to safely clean and board structures across Atlanta and Fulton County. No recent opportunities in South Dakota, California, or Georgia align clearly with the humanitarian logistics scope; the state freight plan update, transit authority parts procurement, and executive search solicitations posted under this code show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited.
