UNSPSC 44111517: Study stands

UNSPSC 44111517 Study stands (Commodity) encompasses library book return carts, classroom furniture, and custom library furnishings procured by state and local governments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reveal buying focused on specialized library equipment—particularly book return units with specific capacity and accessibility requirements—alongside broader classroom and administrative furniture acquisitions. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Polk County Schools, Marion County Schools, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), and Columbia County Schools (Georgia) all soliciting classroom furniture, desks, chairs, tables, and storage units in the past six months. County governments and municipal library systems also appear as buyers: Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued a separate ITB for transit benches and park furnishings, while the City of Dodgeville (Wisconsin) and San Antonio Public Library solicited custom casegoods and library-specific indoor specialty furniture. The code shows activity across school-year procurement cycles (with board approval dates clustering around May–June 2026 for fall delivery) and episodic library renovation projects.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with secondary presence in Minnesota (through Sourcewell cooperative procurement) and California-adjacent regions. Representative recent opportunities include the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 2600317 (July 24, 2026 response deadline) for 50 Kingsley C-Series book returns at $171,080 estimated value; Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026-051 (April 8, 2026 deadline) for administrative and library furniture across 83 elementary, 21 middle, and 13 high schools; Polk County Schools' ITB 040-MJ-0626 (April 30, 2026 deadline) for cafeteria, classroom, office, and library furniture with June 2026 contract start; and the Columbia County School District (Evans, Georgia) RFP HC-04-13-26A (April 13, 2026 deadline) for approximately 9,529 classroom furniture items including student chairs, teacher desks, and laboratory tables across four school locations. All recent awards emphasize FOB destination pricing, delivery and installation requirements, firm fixed pricing for multi-year terms, and compliance with state preference statutes where applicable (Florida Statute 287.084 in Florida; Texas preferences in Texas districts). No guaranteed minimum purchase volumes are typical; districts reserve the right to award multiple vendors or on a line-item basis.
