UNSPSC 56101532: Furniture set

UNSPSC 56101532 Furniture set, a Commodity code, represents custom and institutional furniture that state and local governments procure for educational, correctional, medical, administrative, and public-safety facilities. Recent solicitations show a mix of large-scale custom fabrication projects—including design and build work tables, reception counters, casework, and specialty pieces for academic buildings—alongside turnkey installations of branded commercial seating, institutional dining and activity tables, and modular millwork systems for state agencies. The issuing bodies span community colleges (Mt. San Antonio College), state corrections and veterans affairs departments (Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board, Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice), county school systems (Butts County School System, Cherokee County School District), county government operations (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County), municipal departments (City of Phoenix), and public universities (Christopher Newport University, University of Wisconsin-Madison). Repeat activity appears among Texas state veterans homes, which have posted multiple Kwalu furniture replacement solicitations (Amarillo, Bonham, Floresville, Temple), and state park systems acquiring Old Hickory furniture (Kentucky). Georgia and Texas show the highest recent concentration of activity, with additional procurement visible in California, Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin.

Representative recent opportunities include Mt. San Antonio College's RFP for custom furniture and fixtures (FF&E) for a 273,000-square-foot Technology and Health Building—design and fabrication of work tables, reception counters, residential simulation lab beds, and architectural woodwork, with proposals due September 15, 2026, requiring California prevailing wage, performance bonds, and specified manufacturer experience; the Texas General Land Office's IFB for Kwalu furniture replacement and white-glove installation at the Frank M. Tejeda Texas State Veterans Home in Floresville (941 pieces across resident bedrooms and common areas, bids due July 24, 2026); the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission's RFQ for millwork-package vendors prequalifying to supply modular casework, countertops, and cabinetry for a new state prison facility in Davisboro (SOQs due November 4, 2026, with phased installation June 2027 through February 2028); Butts County School System's RFP for commercial office furniture—desks, workstations, conference tables, and reception furniture—for a new Board of Education office, evaluated on value rather than price alone (proposals due September 30, 2026); and Hillsborough County's ITB for 100 commercial-grade recliners customized with the Fire Rescue logo, contract value estimated at $130,999.00 (bids due July 31, 2026). Solicitation types range from RFPs and IFBs to RFQs for prequalification and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid for classroom furniture and supplies (estimated total expenditures $21,568,516.00 over two years). Vendors commonly must meet insurance, bonding, licensing, and prevailing-wage requirements; demonstrate prior experience on comparable projects; and comply with state-specific set-aside and preference programs including Georgia reciprocal preference, Texas HUB designation, and California prevailing wage.
