UNSPSC 56101523: Umbrella holders or stands

UNSPSC 56101523 Umbrella holders or stands is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit under this code for the literal product; instead, the recent solicitations tagged with this code address large institutional furniture procurements, including fixed and upholstered seating, storage units, and cafeteria serving-line design materials. The mismatch between the code name and actual buying activity suggests that state and local procurement offices are misclassifying broad furniture and interior design scopes under a narrow commodity category. The issuing bodies include state veteran-affairs agencies (Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board), K–12 school cooperatives and districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Cherokee County School District, Columbus Consolidated Government), county government (Santa Clara County), and multistate cooperative purchasing platforms (Sourcewell). Beyond the furniture opportunities, the dataset includes unrelated solicitations for law enforcement equipment and moving services, confirming that the code carries significant classification noise.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and the Mountain West. The Texas General Land Office issued two Kwalu furniture-replacement bids for state veterans homes in Temple and Floresville, with response deadlines of June 17, 2026 and July 24, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Kilgore, Texas) posted an RFP for classroom furniture and supplies (CLSF2628, due May 26, 2026) with estimated total expenditures of $21,568,516.00 across a two-year term, building on 62 prior awards. Cherokee County School District and the Georgia Education Cooperative solicited school cafeteria interior design and materials (response due May 7, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, issued a multistate law-enforcement-equipment RFP (061626, due June 16, 2026) available to counties in Washington and throughout the United States. Santa Clara County (California) solicited moving and relocation services (response due April 1, 2026). Activity is sparse and scattered; the code does not reflect a coherent procurement category in current use.
