UNSPSC 78141903: Intermodal cargo container rental service

Service to provide rental of large cargo containers used to store or transport materials via train or ship

UNSPSC 78141903 Intermodal cargo container rental service, a Commodity code, covers the rental and provision of shipping containers and specialized storage containers to state and local government facilities, including transit authorities, county solid waste operations, airports, and municipal departments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement of both standard cargo containers (20-foot and 40-foot Conex units) for temporary storage and equipment staging, and specialized containers including office-equipped units with climate control, open-top roll-off waste containers in multiple cubic-yard capacities, and transit shelter structures with integrated amenities. Issuing bodies span county boards of commissioners, city purchasing offices, airport authorities, and special-purpose districts, with activity concentrated among facilities managing waste collection, solid waste operations, emergency services, and transportation infrastructure. The code captures both capital purchases of containers and ongoing rental or lease arrangements.

Recent opportunities reflect activity primarily in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Texas.
