UNSPSC 56101608: Bicycle racks

UNSPSC 56101608 Bicycle racks is a Commodity code covering the procurement of bike parking infrastructure by state and local governments. Recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing two distinct market segments: standalone bicycle rack procurement for bike-share programs and municipal transportation systems, and bicycle racks as a bundled line item within broader parks and amenities contracts. The City of St. Petersburg, Florida issued an RFQ in April 2026 for 110 staple-style u-racks (30-inch width, 36-inch height, 2-inch square tube with black powder coating) to support its Bike Share Program, with additional units available on an as-needed basis over a three-year term. The City of Gainesville's Regional Transit System included bicycle racks as one of seven line items in a competitive bid for bus shelters and amenities posted in April 2026. Parks departments and county recreation authorities also procure bicycle racks as part of comprehensive site-furnishings packages—the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department solicited catalog-discount bids for installation, repair, and replacement of site furnishings (including bicycle racks) across its portfolio of more than 200 parks, and the City of Royal Oak, Michigan included bike racks among site furnishings in its April 2026 RFP for Gunn-Dyer Park improvements. Issuing bodies span city transportation departments, municipal parks and recreation agencies, regional transit systems, and county recreation departments, with activity concentrated in Florida, Georgia, and Michigan.

Recent opportunities show the code active across a geographic mix including Florida (St. Petersburg, Tampa, Gainesville), Georgia (Chatham County, Forsyth County, Rome, DeKalb County), Michigan (Royal Oak), and Oregon (Marion County), with the most visible standalone procurement—St. Petersburg's RFQ 26230 for bike-share racks—closing May 5, 2026, and requiring FOB Destination pricing with mounting hardware and two years of prior experience. The Gainesville RTS bid (RTSX260026DS, due February 18, 2026) included a 6.75% DBE goal and required Buy America and FDOT compliance for its bicycle-rack line item within a broader amenities contract. Most recent activity bundles bicycle racks with larger parks, playground, and site-furnishings projects rather than as standalone procurements, though the St. Petersburg Bike Share Program RFQ demonstrates continued demand for dedicated rack purchases in support of municipal transportation initiatives. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuing body—Tampa's procurement carried a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount, while Gainesville's transit procurement triggered federal DBE requirements due to Federal Transit Administration funding.
