UNSPSC 31261502: Metal housings or cabinets

UNSPSC 31261502 Metal housings or cabinets is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure metal storage and transport containers—ranging from file cabinets and office storage units to specialized equipment transport boxes. The work actually being solicited spans office and classroom furniture storage (vertical and fireproof file cabinets, storage cabinets, bookcases) and heavy-duty mobile steel cabinets for specialized government functions such as voting equipment transport. State and local issuing bodies include school district cooperative purchasing agencies, municipal governments, and state-level service cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), serving 35 Georgia school systems, is a repeat buyer of metal storage furniture; municipalities like the Town of Greenwich source specialized transport cabinets for critical electoral operations. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, has used the code to solicit law enforcement equipment storage solutions on behalf of participating counties and public entities across multiple states.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with broader multi-state participation through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency posted Bid #2027-007 in August 2026 for warehouse stock furniture and supplies including metal file cabinets, storage cabinets, and bookcases, with bids due September 22, 2026. The Town of Greenwich issued RFB 7966 in August 2026 for sixteen voting equipment transport cabinets—heavy-duty powder-coated steel units with lockable doors, casters, fold-down loading ramps, and adjustable shelves—bids due August 24, 2026. Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, represents a cooperative procurement spanning Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, plus jurisdictions nationwide, with contract vehicles available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and nonprofit entities through Sourcewell's portal.
