UNSPSC 56101507: Bookcases

UNSPSC 56101507 Bookcases (Commodity) covers shelving and storage units that state and local governments procure for office, administrative, and facility use. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both standalone bookcase purchases and bookcases as line items within larger office furnishings or storage-equipment buys. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB #HHS0017388 included 39 bookcases (32" width × 14" depth × 71" height, 5-shelf) as one of five furniture line items; the Texas General Land Office's RFP 8399-SJ for the Stephen F. Austin Building furnishings included modular office systems and workspaces alongside standard case goods. Chatham County, Georgia issued two parallel solicitations (one sealed-bid IFB and one competitive procurement) for 71 metal shelving units (42" wide × 30" deep × 87" high, seven-shelf, 625 pounds per level) for the Clerk of Superior Court to address capacity constraints. State departments (Texas General Land Office, Texas HHSC), county governments (Chatham County, Hillsborough County), and city governments (Philadelphia) all solicit under this code. Texas agencies and Georgia counties appear as repeat buyers in the recent window.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia. Recent opportunities span Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Georgia (Savannah), and Florida, with a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell RFP #061626) structuring a law-enforcement-equipment solicitation for multi-state participation. Three representative opportunities illustrate the mix: the Texas HHSC IFB for office furniture including bookcases, due July 13, 2026; Chatham County's sealed-bid solicitation for metal shelving units, due April 2, 2026; and the Hillsborough County ITB for cat condos and towers (an atypical application outside the nominal bookcase scope, due March 31, 2026). The code shows consistent activity across both small-order micro purchases (Philadelphia's quote solicitations capped at $43,000) and larger sealed-bid and RFP procurements ($350,000 estimated value in the Hillsborough County cat-condo project). M/WBE participation goals and set-asides appear in some jurisdictions (Chatham County's 30% M/WBE goal; Texas GLO's VetHUB requirement) but not others. Delivery-within-14-days timeframes and firm pricing requirements of 60 days post-opening are standard across the opportunities cited.
