UNSPSC 31162701: Casters

UNSPSC 31162701 Casters (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The three identified recent opportunities—two from the District of Columbia for replacement conference room and office chairs, and one Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment—do not reflect procurement of casters as discrete product line items. State and local governments soliciting under this code appear to be purchasing complete seating fixtures rather than caster components or wheels used in furniture assembly or industrial equipment mobility. The District of Columbia has issued multiple chair-replacement solicitations across fiscal year 2026, but the available documentation does not break out caster specifications or procurement separately.

Geographic activity is limited to the District of Columbia for direct issuers and the Sourcewell cooperative (State of Minnesota local government unit) for one multi-jurisdictional framework agreement spanning Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and entities nationwide. The code shows no active solicitation activity by school districts, transit authorities, or county purchasing offices independent of the Sourcewell vehicle. Without substantive detail in the available solicitation records—no budget ranges, quantities, technical specifications, or incumbent vendor information—the code does not present a clear market signal for caster-specific procurement at the state and local level as of July 2026. Firms should monitor whether future District of Columbia seating RFPs or Sourcewell law enforcement equipment awards break out caster supply as a separate line item; the current record suggests this code is either underutilized for state and local caster procurement or the solicitations are tagged incorrectly.
