UNSPSC 45111502: Table top lecterns

UNSPSC 45111502 Table top lecterns is a Commodity code covering custom and standard lectern supply, framed by state and local procurement of portable podium-style furniture with integrated electrical and lighting components. The Washington Convention and Sports Authority operating as Events DC, an independent authority of the District of Columbia Government, is the identified recent buyer, soliciting through RFQ #25S027 (posted January 27, 2026, response due February 17, 2026) for L-200-25 Congressional Conventioneer Lecterns specified at 25 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 48 inches high with solid wood laminate finish, integrated 12-inch LED gooseneck lighting, XLR adapters, fixed middle storage shelf, power outlet strip with circuit breaker, swivel locking casters, and FOB Destination delivery. The scope reflects convention and hospitality facility operations, where lecterns serve as durable conference furnishings requiring professional-grade construction and electrical integration rather than bare podium stock. Vendors must document at least three years of supply and delivery experience in this product category and maintain all District, Federal, and State licenses.

Events DC has structured the contract as firm-fixed-price award to the lowest-aggregate bidder over the base term through September 30, 2026, with four one-year renewal options and all deliveries to the Convention Center's house dock at 801 Allen Y. Lew Place, NW between 4:00 AM and 7:00 PM Monday through Friday. The solicitation offers Certified Business Enterprise preference points up to twelve points, including set-asides for small business enterprises, resident-owned businesses, disadvantaged business enterprises, veteran-owned businesses, and local manufacturing businesses. Contracts exceeding $250,000 require 35 percent subcontracting to certified small or business enterprises; those exceeding $300,000 trigger First Source Employment requirements (51 percent District residents). All responses must include completed Quote Form, W-9, Tax Certification Affidavit, ACH authorization, current DSLBD certification if applicable, and three customer reference letters. Questions close February 2, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST. No prior recent opportunities in this code have been identified, suggesting limited state and local activity in this specific lectern commodity.
