UNSPSC 11121622 Catahua wood is a Commodity code that encompasses lumber and wood products state and local governments procure for construction, maintenance, and operational needs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing standard lumber in multiple grades and dimensions, plywood, hardwood veneers, specialty pressure-treated and cedar products, mouldings, doors, dowels, and associated fasteners and trim. The issuing bodies span city procurement offices, county financial services and transportation departments, state university procurement services, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional consortia. Vendors competing under this code must meet specifications tied to National Grading Rules, ANSI standards, and AWPA treatment standards, deliver products warranted as new and defect-free, and often comply with local wage and benefits standards, insurance requirements, and set-aside preferences where applicable.

The City of Philadelphia solicited lumber on a requirements-contract basis with bids due August 5, 2026 through PHLContracts, applying a 10 percent local business entity preference to awards of $1,000,000 or less; Gwinnett County Financial Services issued an Informal Written Quotation for wood and building materials due June 18, 2026 via email to Michael.Milstein@GwinnettCounty.com; and Texas A&M University Division of Finance Procurement Services posted an ITB for a TEEX Master Order to Provide Lumber with bids due July 29, 2026 on the AggieBid portal. Recent activity concentrates in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas, with broader multi-state cooperative purchasing also in play through Sourcewell. Delivery timeframes and performance security fees vary — the Philadelphia solicitation required delivery within 3 to 14 days depending on product category and assessed 5 percent liquidated damages for late delivery — while minimum order thresholds and unit-price requirements are common across jurisdictions.
