Extracted from EPA link above:
"Although portables are often the lowest cost option for housing students, they range in quality. Care should be taken during specification and selection to ensure that the students' health is not compromised for inexpensive, low quality designs. When districts specify a portable design, they typically create a term contract that other districts can use to purchase the same (or slightly different) design. This practice (often called "piggy-backing") can save a district valuable time and money on specifications and approvals, but it can also compound poor decisions made in the original procurement."
