UNSPSC 56101708: Mobile files

UNSPSC 56101708 Mobile files is a Commodity code that encompasses filing and storage equipment procured by state and local governments, though recent opportunities show the code being used more broadly for general office and institutional furniture that includes mobile filing components alongside desks, bookcases, and related items. State and local buyers under this code range from health and human services agencies and sheriffs' offices to school districts, libraries, and county parks and recreation departments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB #HHS0017388 in June 2026 seeking 39 mobile 3-drawer pedestal file cabinets (16" width × 21" depth × 29" height) alongside office desks, return desks, tackboards, and bookcases, with bids due July 13, 2026. The County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner posted IFB #0603015801MB in June 2026 for file folders and labels across nine product categories, including expandable folders and color-coded labels for annual usage totaling thousands of units, with a three-year contract term and cooperative purchasing provisions allowing other governmental entities to use the same pricing with a two percent administrative rebate paid to the County.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and California, with recent opportunities also posted in Florida, Minnesota (through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing), and Pennsylvania. The School Board of Polk County, Florida, issued ITB 040-MJ-0626 in April 2026 for cafeteria, classroom, office, and library furniture including filing components, with delivery to Winter Haven and project-specific school locations and a one-year contract term running June 2026 to June 2027. The City of Philadelphia's Free Library issued a micro purchase contract (BV ASP REQ 2026) in March 2026 for 14 units of unspecified ASP supplies with a budget cap of $43,000, though the solicitation provides no detail on whether mobile files or filing equipment constituted any portion of the requirement. Hillsborough County posted two park and facility equipment ITBs in February and March 2026 (cat condos, transit benches, and picnic tables) that do not align with mobile filing scope; these appear to be miscoded under the mobile files UNSPSC despite addressing institutional furnishings unrelated to filing or document storage.
