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 that encompasses the supply of oak and other lumber products to state and local government departments, facilities, and construction operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring mixed hardwood and softwood lumber assortments (pressure-treated pine, SPF framing materials, plywood) alongside fasteners and building accessories as part of routine maintenance and capital project work. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span university procurement divisions, county transportation and facilities departments, city infrastructure and operations functions, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Texas A&M University, Gwinnett County (Georgia), and the City of Dallas have each posted lumber-related solicitations in the past ninety days, indicating steady demand from both single-jurisdiction and regional cooperative structures.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with broader multi-state reach through cooperative purchasing frameworks. Texas A&M University (Division of Finance Procurement Services) issued an ITB for TEEX Master Order to Provide Lumber with a July 29, 2026 response deadline; Gwinnett County Financial Services posted an Informal Written Quotation (IWQ 06092026) for wood and materials with a June 18, 2026 close date requiring delivery to the Department of Transportation in Lawrenceville; and the City of Dallas solicited a five-year ID/IQ master agreement (BR2600030114) for Building Materials, Lumber, and Accessories with a May 1, 2026 deadline, featuring an SBE participation goal of 7.99 percent and pre-qualified SBE subcontractor lists across the Lumber Wholesalers category. Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle) issued RFP #061626 on June 16, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment with multi-state and multi-sector reach, though this opportunity appears tagged to the oak-wood code without substantive alignment to the commodity itself. Demand signals remain steady for lumber supply contracts supporting municipal operations and education infrastructure.
