UNSPSC 78142000: Transport conveyance rental or lease services

Services spanning rental or leasing of vehicles, vessels, aircraft, etc. for the purpose of transporting freight, livestock, passengers, etc.

UNSPSC 78142000 Transport conveyance rental or lease services is a Class code encompassing the supply, rental, and periodic collection or disposal of reusable containers and movable storage equipment — open-top roll-off bins, metal dumpsters, recycling containers, office and storage units, shipping containers (Conex boxes), and transit shelters — for state and local governments. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers use this code primarily for competitive procurement of durable containers and modular units needed to support solid waste management, environmental compliance, fleet operations, transit infrastructure, and temporary office or storage deployment across multiple departments and public facilities. Issuing bodies span cities (Wichita, Leesburg, Austin, Savannah), counties (Collier, Clay, Marion, Orange, Pickens, Hillsborough, Ventura), and special districts (Collier Area Transit). Cities and counties dominate recent activity, with some buyers — notably Collier County and Ventura County — running parallel procurements for complementary services such as waste hauling or material processing alongside container supply contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Leesburg, Clay County, Marion County, Orange County, Collier County, Hillsborough County), Texas (Wichita, Austin), and Georgia (Augusta, Savannah, Pickens County), with secondary representation from California (Ventura County). Recent opportunities include the City of Wichita's October 2026 RFB for trash and recycling collection services across transit, police, and library departments (response due October 23, 2026); the City of Leesburg's January 2026 IFB for 32 open-top roll-off metal containers in four sizes for its Solid Waste Department; the City of Austin's October 2026 IFB for mobile storage and office unit rental and purchase across multiple configurations and estimated monthly volume of 171 units; Collier County's August 2026 ITB for transit shelters with integrated solar lighting and associated waste containers, bike racks, and benches (grant-funded through the Federal Transit Administration with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and Buy America compliance); and Clay County's September 2026 RFB for grapple and roll-off container pickup and haul services supporting four environmental convenience centers. Contract terms typically span one to three years with optional one-year renewals; local-vendor preferences apply in several jurisdictions; and federal compliance (E-Verify, prevailing wage, FTA clauses, Buy America) is mandatory for transit and grant-funded awards.
