UNSPSC 54101601: Bracelets

UNSPSC 54101601 Bracelets is a Commodity code covering costume and specialty jewelry inventory for retail gift shops and institutional sales, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations seeking branded or proprietary bracelet designs alongside coordinated necklace and earring collections. State and local procurement activity under this code typically involves county and municipal recreation or cultural institutions sourcing finished jewelry merchandise for retail operations rather than raw materials or manufacturing services. The Volusia County Marine Science Center gift shop solicitation illustrates the typical buyer profile — a public institution seeking to stock themed costume jewelry from manufacturers, designers, or direct importers rather than distributors or resale intermediaries. Eligibility restrictions commonly limit bidding to firms that own or exclusively manufacture the merchandise, ensuring that award winners control brand or product design. Local and regional vendor preferences appear in these procurements; Volusia County applied a 3% preference for businesses with six months' documented presence in its five-county region and a 2% subcontracting preference.

Volusia County, Florida posted the primary recent opportunity under this code — IFB 26-B-93JJ for sea-life-inspired costume jewelry featuring bracelets, necklaces, and earrings with marine designs, due August 12, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST. The County intended a three-year Master Agreement with two optional one-year renewals, delivery to the Marine Science Center at Ponce Inlet within fourteen days of order, and firm pricing for ninety days. The scope included approximately 858 units across 21 distinct jewelry items in various materials and finishes. Geographic activity under this code remains limited; the source reflects activity only in Florida. Pricing transparency and reference requirements appear standard — bidders had to supply three project references from the prior three years and complete a vendor questionnaire, with payment on undisputed invoices within forty-five business days of receipt.
