UNSPSC 78131806: Self storage or mini storage service

Self storage facilities lease space to individuals, usually storing household goods, or to small businesses, usually storing excess inventory or archived records.

UNSPSC 78131806 Self storage or mini storage service (Commodity) encompasses climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled storage leases that state and local governments procure for equipment, records, durable medical equipment, boats, and general-purpose inventory. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas A&M Forest Service, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Bernalillo County (New Mexico), the University of Georgia, Pinellas County School District, the City of Dallas, Pflugerville Independent School District, and the California Department of Parks and Recreation have posted opportunities under or closely related to this code in the past six months, ranging from small enclosed boat storage facilities (480–5,075 square feet) to large warehouse operations (up to 75,000 square feet). Solicitations consistently require climate-controlled vaults or warehouse space, 24/7 gated access with video security, on-site management or emergency response capability, and utilities included in monthly rental costs. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer, posting multiple boat storage leases at different locations (Live Oak County, Zapata County, Bridge City, Nacogdoches, Riviera, and Val Verde County) in the February–June 2026 window alone.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Texas, with secondary activity in California, New Mexico, and Georgia. Texas Parks and Wildlife has issued at least six distinct boat storage RFQs and IFBs between February and June 2026 for facilities near lakes and reservoirs across multiple counties. Representative recent opportunities include Texas A&M Forest Service Purchasing Department's IFB26011 (posted July 1, 2026, bids due July 15, 2026) for nine climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled storage units totaling 1,000 square feet within 10 miles of College Station; Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's 24-month boat storage leases in Nacogdoches, Bridge City, and Riviera (posted June 9–12, 2026, responses due June 10 or 23, 2026) for 1,440–5,075 square feet of garage-style enclosed space with heavy-duty specifications; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's warehouse and equipment storage RFQ (posted May 14, 2026, bids due April 29, 2026) for up to 75,000 square feet of climate-controlled medical equipment storage in Travis County, including 24/7 access, pest control, and emergency deployment capability. Evaluation typically emphasizes best value, lowest price, facility location proximity, insurance and security infrastructure, and emergency response capability, with response times often required at two hours for emergency calls and next-business-day for routine requests.
