UNSPSC 78141902: Tote rental

Tote rental for storage or transportation of liquids and solids

UNSPSC 78141902 Tote rental (Commodity) describes rental and supply of mobile storage, waste, and recycling containers—including roll-off dumpsters, tote boxes, Conex shipping containers, and transit shelter waste receptacles—that state and local governments procure for solid waste management, recycling operations, emergency services, and municipal facilities. Recent opportunities show the code capturing a broad range of containerized storage and collection equipment across multiple jurisdictional service lines, though the sourcing pattern reflects mixed solicitation quality and occasional mislabeling that weakens the code's precision as a procurement signal.

City and county procurement offices dominate recent activity, with roll-off container supply and collection services appearing most frequently. The City of Wichita (October 2026) solicited trash and recycling container supply and collection across Transit, Police, and Library departments under RFB 260146 with a local-vendor preference and same-day service response requirements; the City of Austin (September 2026) sought mobile container purchase and rental for onsite storage and office units under IFB 5000 JRN1043, covering 171 estimated monthly rental units in multiple configurations plus 34 annual purchases, with 5 percent local and small-business discounts and $22.15 living-wage requirements; Collier County, Florida (August 2026) issued ITB 25-8571 for transit shelters and integrated amenities including solar-lighted shelters, waste containers, bike racks, and benches with Federal Transit Administration grant funding and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage; and Clay County, Florida (August 2026) requested grapple and roll-off container services under RFB 2526110 for four environmental convenience centers with three-year initial term and mandatory pre-bid meeting. One-off equipment purchases also appear: the City of Austin issued IFQ 8300 JRH1025 (April 2026) for refurbished Conex containers for the Fire Department, and Hillsborough County, Florida issued ITB 26-00247 (April 2026) for new shipping containers and office containers estimated at $146,685 over two years. Geographic concentration is evident in Florida (Clay County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, City of Leesburg, Marion County, City of Savannah) and Texas (City of Wichita, City of Austin), with secondary activity in Georgia (City of Augusta, Pickens County). The source includes one clearly mislabeled record (Marion County solicitation 26099, tagged as recycling container rental but actually concerning a medical equipment bracket for LifePak defibrillators), reducing signal reliability. Recent activity does not show strong repeat-buyer patterns within the past six months; individual jurisdictions typically solicit infrequently under this code tier.
