UNSPSC 60123001: Styrofoam shapes

UNSPSC 60123001 Styrofoam shapes is a Commodity code covering foam-based flotation and construction materials procured by state and local governments for waterfront infrastructure, marine operations, and specialized engineering projects. The code encompasses rigid polyethylene flotation drums, foam-filled containment systems, and related foam components engineered to meet regulatory standards such as Corps of Engineers specifications. State procurement offices are the primary issuing bodies under this code, soliciting single-source or limited-competition purchases through RFQs and IFBs when standardized foam products are required for public waterways, port facilities, or natural-resource management operations.

Maine's Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, posted RFQ #01A 260819-028 on September 9, 2026, requesting quotations for flotation materials on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, with responses due September 23, 2026. The scope included 160 units of 24"×48"×8" foam-filled, single-wall polyethylene flotation drums meeting Corps of Engineers regulations, bundled with pressure-treated lumber and native white cedar for a one-time delivery to Richmond, Maine by December 31, 2026. Bidders were required to submit complete pricing for all commodity lines, with equivalency documentation for any proposed alternates; the State reserved the right to conduct contract negotiations with the selected lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder. Recent activity under this code appears limited to state-level procurement in the Northeast, with Maine representing the primary documented jurisdiction posting solicitations for foam flotation products.
