UNSPSC 24102006: Work benches

UNSPSC 24102006 Work benches (Commodity) encompasses industrial-grade steel workbenches that state and local governments procure for operations and maintenance facilities, transit infrastructure, and parks. Recent solicitations show demand for heavy-duty models with welded steel construction, drawer and shelf assemblies, and finishes suitable for warehouse and field environments. State departments of transportation dominate the recent activity, posting multiple identical or near-identical IFBs for four-unit purchases of steel workbenches with 1/4-inch top plates, ball-bearing drawer slides, and gray powder-coat finish. Transit authorities and county governments also solicit under the code for benches integrated into larger transit-stop and parks procurement packages—such as Collier County's request for 6-foot powder-coated steel benches with intermediate armrests as part of a broader transit-shelter and amenities ITB, and Hillsborough County's search for surface-mount benches with recycled plastic slats alongside picnic tables and grills. The mix of issuing bodies spans state transportation departments, county transit and parks divisions, and municipal procurement offices across the Southeast and Midwest.

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) St. Louis division posted three related workbench IFBs between mid-April and early May 2026, each seeking four units for delivery to a single St. Louis facility; the most recent closing date was May 7, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time via the MissouriBUYS system, with a 10 percent domestic-product preference and MBE/WBE encouragement. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 25-8571 (due August 17, 2026) for transit shelters and amenities including 6-foot powder-coated steel benches as one line item, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America compliance, and federal DBE objectives under 49 CFR Part 26. Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00151 (closed March 13, 2026) specified brand-specific transit and park benches as part of a $325,141.10 two-year parks equipment contract. Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Missouri, and Washington state, with MoDOT generating repeat activity in St. Louis and transit authorities in Florida and the Pacific Northwest driving procurement volume.
