UNSPSC 78131501: Silo services

UNSPSC 78131501 Silo services (Commodity) encompasses warehousing and storage operations that state and local governments procure for food products, medical supplies, and records—including climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled facilities, inventory management systems, and logistics support. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for cold storage (frozen and refrigerated food), dry goods warehousing, record storage, and comprehensive warehouse operations including receiving, inventory control, picking, packing, shipping, and delivery services. The mix of issuing bodies includes state human services and health agencies (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Administrative Services), counties (Harrison County, Mississippi), cities (Madison, Phoenix), and school district cooperative programs serving multiple recipient agencies. The code also captures facility shelving and infrastructure components supporting warehouse operations, though the nominal code scope does not align tightly with all tagged opportunities—several records represent storage and logistics services better classified under transportation or supply chain management rather than silo-specific work.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Arizona. Representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Human Services IFB B-52252 (Apr 29, 2026 posting, May 20, 2026 response deadline) for off-site dry food storage and warehousing services at the Ann M. Kiley Center in Waukegan through June 30, 2029, requiring 60–70 pallet spaces and bi-weekly delivery; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016767 (issued May 15, 2026, bid due June 8, 2026) seeking climate-controlled (10,000 sq ft minimum) and non-climate-controlled storage (25,000 sq ft minimum) in San Antonio with transportation and inventory management capabilities and a mandatory 26.0 percent HUB subcontracting goal; the State of Oregon ITB S-DASOBO-00015789 (posted Mar 23, 2026, due Apr 6, 2026) for statewide USDA Food warehousing and distribution serving approximately 210 school districts and 200 recipient agencies, managing approximately 210,000 cases annually across dry, refrigerated, and frozen categories; and the City of Madison RFB #15011-0-2026-BP (posted Jun 25, 2026, due Aug 19, 2026) for electric elevator modernization at the State Street Garage with local-vendor preference eligibility. An Illinois Department of Human Services emergency cost notice (Jul 9, 2026) reported final costs of $70,628.32 under emergency contract authority for cold storage services at the Ludeman Developmental Center provided by Summit Cold Storage Company.
