UNSPSC 11121614: Teak wood

Teak (Tectona), is a genus of tropical hardwood trees in the family Verbenaceae, native to the south and southeast of Asia, and is commonly found as a component of monsoon forest

UNSPSC 11121614 Teak wood, a Commodity code, nominally encompasses specialty hardwood procurement but shows limited recent state and local activity aligned with teak specifically. The recent solicitations tagged to this code actually solicit general lumber and wood building materials — pressure-treated pine, SPF framing lumber, plywood, hardwood veneers, paneling, doors, and mouldings — rather than teak veneer or specialty teak products. The City of Philadelphia's requirements contract (B2727518, due August 5, 2026) and Gwinnett County's informal written quotation (IWQ 06092026, due June 18, 2026) both request broad wood-product catalogs; neither targets teak. A fourth record, Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (061626, due June 16, 2026), appears mistagged to this code entirely and carries no relevance to wood procurement. The issuing bodies across the aligned opportunities include a major city procurement office, a county purchasing division, and a university procurement services unit — a typical spread of local and regional demand drivers.

Geographic activity centers on Pennsylvania and Georgia based on recent postings. The Philadelphia RFP and Gwinnett County IWQ represent the most recent, concrete solicitation signals. Texas A&M University's TEEX Master Order for lumber (TEEXITB26081, due July 29, 2026) appears in the block but provides minimal scope detail beyond the generic title. The code shows limited recent teak-specific procurement; firms pursuing this code should expect to compete on general construction-grade and specialty lumber rather than premium hardwoods, and should monitor Philadelphia and Gwinnett County for steady requirements-contract renewal cycles. Set-asides and preferences are jurisdiction-specific — Philadelphia applies a 10 percent LBE preference for awards under $1 million and 5 percent above, with 51 percent local performance thresholds.
