UNSPSC 91111800: Personal item care and storage

UNSPSC 91111800 Personal item care and storage is a Class code that encompasses warehouse and logistics services for storage, inventory management, packing, unpacking, and material handling of goods ranging from medical supplies and pharmaceuticals to food items and resident belongings. State and local governments are procuring climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled warehouse capacity, receiving and shipping services, inventory documentation and tracking, specialized handling for hazardous materials and perishables, and transportation support—often integrated with emergency response capabilities or facility management. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, city parking divisions, housing authorities, and special-purpose public agencies. The work involves substantial insurance requirements (typically $1 million to $2 million general liability), compliance with federal and state regulations (such as USDA food distribution standards or prevailing wage rules), and often includes diversity and HUB subcontracting goals. Contracts frequently run multiple years with optional renewals and are priced on firm-fixed, per-unit, or hourly labor bases.
