UNSPSC 54101605: Body jewelry

UNSPSC 54101605 Body jewelry (Commodity) covers costume jewelry items that state and local governments purchase for retail resale, gift shops, and educational venues. The Volusia County Marine Science Center's August 2026 IFB for sea-life-inspired costume jewelry—necklaces, bracelets, and earrings featuring marine designs in various materials—represents the work actually being solicited under this code. State and local issuing bodies soliciting here are primarily counties and municipally operated cultural institutions with retail or gift-shop operations. The Volusia County opportunity explicitly restricts eligibility to manufacturers, designers, private-label brand owners, and direct importers; distributors, resellers, and brokers are ineligible. Merchandise must be proprietary to the bidder's company or manufactured exclusively under the bidder's brand or private-label arrangement, narrowing the field to direct producers and brand holders rather than resellers.

Activity under the code is concentrated in Florida, as evidenced by the Volusia County solicitation. The Marine Science Center IFB 26-B-93JJ, posted August 13, 2026 with a due date of August 12, 2026 (note: due date precedes posting date in source), sought approximately 858 units across 21 specific costume jewelry line items with delivery to Ponce Inlet, Florida within fourteen days of order. The County intends to award a Master Agreement for an initial three-year term with two optional one-year renewals. A 3% local preference applies to vendors with a documented permanent business location of at least six months in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, or Volusia County; a 2% preference applies to prime contractors utilizing local subcontractors representing 51% or greater of total work. Pricing must remain firm for at least ninety days and include FOB Destination with all shipping and handling charges included.
