UNSPSC 56101702: Filing cabinets or accessories

UNSPSC 56101702 Filing cabinets or accessories is a Commodity code covering the procurement of filing and storage furniture by state and local governments, though recent opportunities under this code show considerable scope drift. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA) bid #2027-007, posted in August 2026 with a September 22, 2026 response deadline, solicits warehouse stock furniture for 35 Georgia school systems and explicitly lists vertical and fireproof file cabinets alongside classroom and office furniture such as storage cabinets, student desks, chairs, activity tables, and display boards. School districts and cooperative purchasing agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with CPA operating as a warehouse serving multiple districts and schools under a single contract vehicle. However, a second recent opportunity—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline—appears unrelated to filing cabinets or storage furniture, suggesting the code assignment may reflect miscategorization by the issuing body rather than a match to actual procurement scope.

Recent activity under this code concentrates in the Southeast, driven primarily by Georgia school-district procurement through CPA's cooperative purchasing model. The CPA bid establishes annual quantities ranging from 2 to 150 units depending on item type, with firm pricing F.O.B. destination, NET 30 payment terms, and expected delivery within 30 days of purchase order issuance. New vendors must submit three references and a W-9 form; samples are optional. Bids are submitted via email or mail to CPA's Cleveland, Georgia office. The Sourcewell opportunity, while tagged to this code, targets law enforcement equipment across Washington counties and a broader national base and does not align with filing-cabinet procurement. Filing-cabinet work under this code appears limited to school-district procurement executed through state or regional cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than direct municipal or county solicitation.
