UNSPSC 30191505: Step stool

UNSPSC 30191505 Step stool, a Commodity code, covers portable access platforms used in schools, libraries, and public facilities — though the recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied primarily to broader furniture procurement, not step stools specifically. State and local governments use this code nominally to tag small access equipment, but actual buying under the code spans classroom furniture, library materials handling equipment, and related facility furnishings. School districts and library systems are the primary issuing bodies, supplemented by county cooperative purchasing agencies, municipal library departments, and special service cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia and Florida school systems, with secondary activity in Texas municipalities and Maine state procurement. Cobb County School District issued RFP P27017 (due November 11, 2026) for classroom and administrative furniture with an estimated value of $2.5 million; Columbia County School District posted separate IFBs for music shelving (due October 16, 2026) and library shelving (due September 18, 2026) at Evans High School, Lakeside High School, and Harlem High School. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency, serving 35 Georgia school systems, solicited warehouse stock furniture bids (Bid #2027-007, due September 22, 2026) covering file cabinets, storage units, student desks and chairs, and activity tables with estimated annual quantities ranging from 2 to 150 units per item. The City of Dallas Library Services requested bids on library book carts (due September 9, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners sought sealed bids for 50 Kingsley Brand book returns with carts valued at $171,080 (due July 24, 2026), and Broward County Library issued an RFI on DEMCO desk furniture for the Hollywood Branch Library (due August 14, 2026). Geographic spread extends across Georgia (Cobb, Columbia, Cherokee counties; CPA cooperative), Florida (Broward, Hillsborough counties), Texas (Dallas, San Antonio, Brownsville), and Maine state procurement, suggesting regional rather than nationwide concentration in public education and library infrastructure spending.
