UNSPSC 11121617: Oak wood

The term oak can be used as part of the common name of any of several hundred species of trees and shrubs in the genus Quercus (from Latin "oak tree"), and some related genera, notably Cyclobalanopsis and Lithocarpus. Oaks are hardwood trees. Oak wood has a density of about 0.75 g/cm3, great strength and hardness, and is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content

UNSPSC 11121617 Oak wood is a Commodity code covering lumber and wood products procured by state and local governments for construction, maintenance, and operational purposes. The City of Philadelphia's recent requirements-contract solicitation for lumber exemplifies the scope: the code encompasses standard lumber in various grades and dimensions, plywood, hardwood veneers, paneling, mouldings, doors, dowels, pressure-treated lumber, and cedar products, with specifications referencing National Grading Rules and ANSI standards. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city procurement offices, county purchasing divisions, university facilities and procurement services, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Philadelphia appears as a repeat buyer, having posted a requirements contract with a three-month initial term and renewal option; Texas A&M University and Gwinnett County Financial Services—Purchasing Division also posted separate wood and materials procurements within the past four months.

Recent activity concentrates in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Georgia. The City of Philadelphia issued an RFQ for lumber with an August 5, 2026 response deadline, applying a 10 percent LBE preference for bids of $1,000,000 or less and requiring vendors to perform a minimum of 51 percent of contract work within Philadelphia; delivery timeframes ranged from 3 to 14 days depending on product type, with a 30-day default and 5 percent liquidated damages for delays. Texas A&M University Division of Finance Procurement Services posted an ITB for a TEEX Master Order to Provide Lumber due July 29, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. CST through the AggieBid portal. Gwinnett County Financial Services issued an Informal Written Quotation for fourteen line items of pressure-treated pine lumber, SPF framing materials, plywood, and wood trim, due June 18, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., with delivery as a stated award factor and Georgia worker verification requirements for contracts exceeding $2,499.99. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment posted in May 2026 carried this code but does not reflect relevant procurement activity under it.
