UNSPSC 44103204: Time card racks

UNSPSC 44103204 Time card racks (Commodity) represents storage and display equipment that state and local governments procure for warehouse operations, office organization, and inventory management. Recent solicitations show purchasing departments acquiring pallet rack framing, metal racks, and warehouse shelving—functional storage systems rather than time-tracking equipment despite the code's nominal name. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include cities (Philadelphia, Phoenix) and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple counties and public entities. The work involves supplying manufactured storage racks and shelving that meet operational specifications, with contracts typically structured as requirements agreements or fixed-term supply arrangements.

Philadelphia Procurement Department has posted two micro purchases under this code within the past four months: a pallet rack framing solicitation (B2727634, due August 11, 2026) with a $45,000 contract ceiling, and a metal rack quote request (B2627184, due May 27, 2026) with a $43,000 threshold. Both are awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on an all-items-or-no-award basis through the PHLContracts eProcurement platform, requiring executed Consent and Authorization Agreements and proof of workers' compensation and liability insurance. The City of Phoenix solicited warehouse shelving for a five-year contract (IFB260251, originally due June 1, 2026 but extended to October 18, 2022) serving Maricopa County and Phoenix jurisdictions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment (061626, due June 16, 2026) serving Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington state alongside other jurisdictions nationwide—though this solicitation appears misaligned with the code's storage-rack scope. Activity clusters in the Southwest and upper Midwest; Philadelphia shows repeat purchasing activity in this category.
