Used 40 Foot Shipping Container

The City of Peoria in Illinois is soliciting quotes for a used 40-foot Conex-style shipping container through Solicitation 94-25, with proposals due by August 26, 2025. The procurement specifically requires a used shipping container that is 40 feet in length, with flexibility on container height (either standard 8'6" or high cube 9'6" configurations are acceptable). Potential vendors must provide a container weighing approximately 8,800 pounds and capable of being delivered via a roll-off truck. The City has specific delivery requirements, including the need for 120 feet of straight, hard, level ground to accommodate the Landoll roll-off truck, which is 78 feet long. The solicitation process includes a Q&A document dated August 21, 2025, which provides clarification on container specifications and delivery logistics. Bidders are expected to carefully review the detailed requirements and ensure their proposed container meets the City of Peoria's operational needs.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be open to standard commercial vendors capable of supplying used shipping containers that meet the specified requirements. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the solicitation suggests a straightforward procurement process for a single container. The document does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the container. Potential vendors should be prepared to provide competitive pricing for a used 40-foot shipping container with roll-off delivery capabilities. Interested suppliers should carefully review the Q&A document and ensure they can meet the City of Peoria's specific delivery and container specifications before submitting a quote.
