UNSPSC 31261503: Steel housings or cabinets

UNSPSC 31261503 Steel housings or cabinets is a Commodity code covering metal storage enclosures and cabinet systems procured by state and local governments for classroom, office, law enforcement, and election administration purposes. Recent solicitations show school systems and municipalities buying filing cabinets, storage cabinets, bookcases, and specialized transport cabinets for voting equipment and police operations. The issuing bodies span school district cooperative purchasing agencies, municipal government departments, and regional government service cooperatives. Work solicited includes fixed-price bids for assembled metal storage units with specification-driven features such as lockable doors, adjustable shelving, casters, security provisions, and powder-coat finishes; suppliers typically quote on a per-unit or annual warehouse-stock basis with delivery included and firm pricing held for 30 to 90 days.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), serving 35 Georgia school systems, posted Bid #2027-007 on August 12, 2026, requesting bids on warehouse stock furniture and supplies including vertical and fireproof file cabinets and storage cabinets, with responses due September 22, 2026 and contract running through December 31, 2027. The Town of Greenwich, Connecticut, issued RFB 7966 on August 10, 2026, for sixteen heavy-duty mobile steel voting equipment transport cabinets with specific dimensional and locking requirements, bids due August 24, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington, Oregon, and other states, with June 16, 2026 submission deadline through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-state regional frameworks appear to be the dominant contracting structure for establishing standing supplier relationships under this code.
