UNSPSC 56101504: Chairs

UNSPSC 56101504 Chairs is a Commodity code covering ergonomic office seating, specialized operational chairs, banquet and event furniture, and outdoor park seating—the range of chair types state and local governments procure for emergency communications centers, state facilities, convention venues, and public parks. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county emergency services, convention authorities, regional park systems, and cooperative purchasing consortia. Work being solicited includes fixed-quantity purchases of wood side and arm chairs for residential care facilities, ergonomic E911 dispatch center seating, heavy-duty banquet chairs for convention facilities, and outdoor metal-slat park furniture as part of broader venue or facility upgrades.

Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting wood chairs for Denton State Supported Living Center twice (IFB HHS0017524 and HHS0017524V2, closing July 6 and July 31, 2026 respectively, calling for 100 side chairs and 75 arm chairs at firm fixed pricing with F.O.B. Destination delivery), Gwinnett County, Georgia requesting ergonomic E911 dispatch chairs under IWQ 135152 (RFQ closing August 31, 2026), and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority seeking 8,000 to 12,000 heavy-duty MTS model 6578-HD-UL banquet chairs by August 4, 2026, with 60 percent evaluation weight on technical merit and 40 percent on cost. The County of Orange, California issued IFB 012-3043003-2-LS for outdoor park furniture including 20 metal-slat chairs for a regional park expansion (closed April 22, 2026), offering five to eight percent local and disabled veteran business enterprise bid preferences capped at $100,000. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment with participation from Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington (due June 16, 2026), though the available documentation does not clarify whether chairs are included in the law enforcement equipment scope.
