UNSPSC 57060201: Jerry cans

Semi-collapsible plastic 10 liter jerry cans.

UNSPSC 57060201 Jerry cans is a Commodity code covering portable metal fuel and liquid storage containers typically used in operational and emergency-response settings. State and local governments procure these containers as consumable supplies for fire rescue operations, maintenance programs, and field personnel — bought on an as-needed basis through competitive sealed bids or cooperative purchasing agreements rather than as specialty equipment purchases. Issuing bodies span county governments and regional cooperatives; the code appears in mixed solicitations where jerry cans are one line item among broader operational-supply bundles rather than as standalone procurements. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' recent janitorial and operational supplies bid (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) shows the typical buying pattern: jerry cans bundled with broader consumables for fire rescue operations, with all products required to be new, unused, and factory-sealed, delivered within 10 days to operational facilities.

Recent activity centers on Florida and the Pacific Northwest. Hillsborough County, Florida (Tampa-area fire rescue operations across 47 stations) solicited consumables on an as-needed basis under a one-year, $765,679.84 contract through an ITB format. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued an RFP on June 16, 2026 for law enforcement equipment to participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada; while the RFP scope is broad law enforcement equipment rather than jerry cans specifically, the cooperative structure indicates potential secondary demand through participating addenda. Bidders must be authorized distributors capable of backorder management and chain-of-custody documentation, with pricing quoted free-on-board destination and all shipping and warranty costs included.
