UNSPSC 30191505: Step stool

UNSPSC 30191505 Step stool, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally covers portable stepping platforms, but the opportunities tagged to this classification reflect a broader scope of furniture and equipment procurement than the code's narrow product definition suggests. State and local governments acquiring under this code pursue step stools as incidental components within larger furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE) buys that emphasize classroom, library, administrative, and recreational furnishings. Issuing bodies include county school districts, municipal school boards, city library systems, and county parks and recreation departments. The solicitations show no repeat single-jurisdiction concentration; instead, activity is distributed across independent school districts and county purchasing offices in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin, each issuing separate furniture contracts that may bundle step stools with desks, chairs, tables, shelving, and storage systems.

Recent opportunities reflect substantial furniture procurements where step stools appear as line items within comprehensive FFE awards. Northside Independent School District (Bexar County, Texas) issued IFB 2026-051 on March 17, 2026, with a response due April 8, 2026, for administrative, library, and miscellaneous furniture across 83 elementary schools, 21 middle schools, and 13 high schools, allowing vendors to bid individual items or multiple product lines with award on a best-value or line-item basis. The Marion County School Board (Florida) posted Bid 4154MF on February 2, 2026, closing January 14, 2026, for a ten-month classroom furniture term contract with delivery to a central warehouse and orders placed on an as-needed basis. Columbia County School District (Georgia) solicited comprehensive classroom furniture procurement HC-04-13-26A in March 2026 for approximately 9,529 furniture items across four school locations. These solicitations emphasize FOB Destination pricing, inside delivery and installation, and firm fixed pricing throughout contract terms, with awards typically made to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value. Step stools do not command standalone procurement attention; vendors pursuing this code should embed step-stool offerings within broader furniture-catalog strategies targeting educational and library institutional buyers across the Southeast and Southwest.
