UNSPSC 78141902: Tote rental

Tote rental for storage or transportation of liquids and solids

UNSPSC 78141902 Tote rental is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses container procurement and waste management services far broader than the code name suggests. State and local governments buying under this code are actually sourcing shipping containers (20- and 40-foot Conex units), open-top roll-off metal containers in multiple cubic-yard sizes, transit shelter equipment, recycling and waste collection containers, and ancillary services including transport, processing, and facility operation. The issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County Florida, Marion County Florida, Ventura County California, Pickens County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida), city departments (Austin, Dallas, Leesburg, Detroit, Charlotte, Tucson), special authorities (Charlotte Douglas International Airport), and county transit agencies. Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Ventura County, and the City of Tucson appear as repeat buyers across multiple container and waste-management solicitations.

The geographic spread is nationwide with recent activity concentrated in Florida (Collier, Marion, Hillsborough, Leesburg), California (Ventura, Ontario), Georgia (Pickens, Spalding), North Carolina (Charlotte), Texas (Austin, Dallas), and Arizona (Tucson, Kingman). Representative opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing ITB 25-8571 for transit shelters with integrated solar lighting and related amenities, due August 17, 2026, under Federal Transit Administration grant funding with Davis-Bacon and Buy America compliance; Hillsborough County issuing ITB-26-00247 for shipping containers (20- and 40-foot Conex units, office containers, and high-cube variants) with an estimated project value of $146,685.00, due May 15, 2026; the City of Leesburg issuing IFB 26-007-HG for 32 open-top roll-off metal containers across four sizes for its Solid Waste Department, due January 22, 2026; and Ventura County issuing RFB 6527 for metal recycling services and RFB 6528 for e-waste recycling, both due June 25, 2026, with compensation structured as revenue share to the County rather than vendor payment.
