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 is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for trash and recycling collection containers, roll-off storage and waste containers, mobile storage and office units for temporary onsite deployment, and transit shelter and amenity components—a broader scope than the nominal "intermodal cargo" framing. The mix of issuing bodies soliciting under the code spans city governments (Wichita, Leesburg, Austin, Savannah, Augusta), county boards (Clay County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, Marion County, Ventura County, Pickens County), and transit authorities (Collier Area Transit). Cities appear as frequent buyers, with Austin and Leesburg each issuing multiple recent solicitations. The work reflects operational support for public facilities—waste management, emergency services, transit infrastructure, and solid waste processing—rather than cargo logistics or international shipping.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Georgia. The City of Wichita issued RFB 260146 on October 9, 2026 (due October 23) for trash and recycling container supply and collection across transit, police, and library departments with same-day and next-day service response requirements and a local-vendor preference. The City of Leesburg issued IFB 26-007-HG on September 28, 2026 (due January 22, 2027) for 32 open-top roll-off metal containers in four sizes (10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards) with a one-year term and four one-year renewal options. Clay County issued RFB 2526110 on August 17, 2026 (due September 3) for grapple and roll-off container services at four environmental convenience centers and county facilities, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 21. Collier County issued ITB 25-8571 on August 19, 2026 for transit shelters and amenities (shelters with solar lighting, waste containers, bike racks, benches) as grant-funded capital equipment with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and Buy America domestic preference provisions. The City of Austin issued IFB 5000 JRN1043 on September 14, 2026 (due October 8) for mobile container purchase and rental across 171 monthly rental units, 34 annual purchase units, and an estimated $100,000 annual category for additional products, with local and small business discounts and a $22.15 per hour Living Wage Program requirement. Recent opportunities also span Hillsborough County (ITB-26-00247 for shipping containers, $146,685 estimated value), Augusta, Georgia (ITB 27-105 for roll-off recycling and storage containers), and Pickens County, Georgia (hydraulic dump trailer for recycling operations).
