UNSPSC 78131802: Customs bonded storage services

UNSPSC 78131802 Customs bonded storage services is a Commodity-tier code that in recent state and local activity encompasses warehouse and cold storage services for food and supplies rather than import-export bonded facilities. State and local governments are soliciting through this code for off-site storage operations including receiving, inventory management, climate and non-climate controlled warehousing, and periodic or regular delivery of goods to operational facilities. The issuing bodies span state departments of human services, education, and health; county and city governments; and school district cooperative purchasing. Work ranges from bonded-warehouse food storage serving developmental centers and school nutrition programs to general records storage and USDA foods distribution across multiple recipient sites.

Recent opportunities show activity across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Mississippi, and Arizona. The Illinois Department of Human Services issued an IFB in April 2026 for cold storage services at the Elisabeth Ludeman Developmental Center in Cook County (due April 27, 2026), requiring frozen and refrigerated food storage within 60 miles and weekly withdrawals of approximately 600 pounds. The same department posted an IFB in April 2026 for dry goods warehousing at the Ann M. Kiley Center in Waukegan, Illinois (due May 20, 2026), seeking 60–70 pallet spaces with bi-weekly deliveries and six annual inventory turnovers through June 2029. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services issued an ITB in March 2026 for statewide USDA Food Carrier and Warehouse Services (due April 6, 2026), seeking a single contractor to manage approximately 210,000 cases annually across dry, refrigerated, and frozen categories for approximately 300 delivery sites, with a five-year term beginning July 1, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB in May 2026 for San Antonio warehouse and transportation services combining climate-controlled (minimum 10,000 square feet) and non-climate-controlled (minimum 25,000 square feet) capacity (due June 8, 2026), with anticipated start July 1, 2026 and term through August 2027 plus optional renewals. Bonded-warehouse and insurance requirements, prevailing-wage compliance, and diversity subcontracting plans appear consistently across solicitations.
