UNSPSC 56101601: Outdoor umbrellas

UNSPSC 56101601 Outdoor umbrellas is a Commodity code that sees sparse recent state and local procurement activity, with only one relevant recent solicitation directly matching the code's scope: the City of Dallas's January 2026 informal solicitation for table umbrellas. Most opportunities posted under this code tag actually describe apparel, protective equipment, and facility supplies—rainsuits for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, uniforms and jackets for fire departments in Phoenix, Salem, and Austin, and janitorial supplies for Hillsborough County—that do not fall within the outdoor umbrellas category. The City of Dallas procurement represents the only concrete signal of active buying under the code itself: a straightforward purchase of new table umbrellas, FOB delivery to a Dallas municipal facility, with bids due by January 29, 2026, and no set-aside designations or budget range disclosed.

The Dallas table umbrella solicitation stands as an outlier in recent activity. State and local governments posting under this code appear to be small-volume, occasional buyers rather than repeat customers, and the geographic spread is limited to Texas and Florida data points in the most recent window. No standout repeat buyers or procurement patterns emerge from the available opportunities. The sparse volume and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the bulk of recent solicitations suggest that outdoor umbrellas represent a low-frequency, low-visibility category for state and local purchasing; business development professionals should monitor for opportunistic buys at municipalities and county facilities but should not expect predictable or sustained pipeline activity under this code.
