UNSPSC 78141901: Storage basket rental service

Service to provide rental baskets used to store and transport materials

UNSPSC 78141901 Storage basket rental service is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent solicitations posted against this code center on waste and recycling infrastructure—shipping containers, roll-off dumpsters, transit shelter amenities, collection center operations, and recycling transport services—rather than storage baskets. The code appears misapplied across multiple issuing bodies including counties (Collier, Hillsborough, Marion, Spalding, Ventura), cities (Austin, Dallas, Leesburg, Charlotte, Tucson, Detroit), and transit authorities (Ontario International Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport). The geographic spread spans Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, and California, with no clear concentration in any single region or state.

Recent opportunities under this code show a mix of notice types and scopes that diverge from "storage basket rental." Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 25-8571 for transit shelters and amenities (due August 17, 2026), specifying bus shelter designs, waste containers, bike racks, and benches with solar components and ADA compliance. Hillsborough County issued ITB-26-00247 for Conex shipping containers across 20-foot and 40-foot configurations (due May 15, 2026) with an estimated project value of $146,685.00. The City of Austin posted two Invitations for Quotation for refurbished Conex containers (due April 22 and April 28, 2026) to support the Fire Department's training operations. The City of Leesburg issued IFB 26-007-HG for open-top roll-off metal containers in four sizes for its Solid Waste Department (due January 22, 2026). The County of Ventura solicited bids on metal recycling services (RFB 6527, due June 24, 2026) and e-waste recycling (RFB 6528, due June 24, 2026) structured as revenue-sharing arrangements. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (City of Charlotte) issued RFP AVIA 26-21R for waste hauling and disposal services across 86 airport locations (due May 5, 2026). This code shows heavy activity but with materials and services substantially unrelated to storage basket rentals; the tagging appears systematic misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement demand.
