UNSPSC 56101711: Modular furniture connectors

UNSPSC 56101711 Modular furniture connectors is a Commodity code that encompasses connectors, fastening systems, and hardware used to assemble and join modular furniture components in institutional and commercial settings. Recent state and local solicitations frame the work as part of larger furniture and fixture packages for educational facilities, office relocations, and modular building installations, where connectors and related assembly items are specified components within broader furniture procurement scopes. State and local governments purchase these items primarily through educational institutions, corrections departments, and facilities commissions procuring complete furnished spaces rather than connectors as standalone line items. The issuing bodies include state departments of education and corrections, county offices of education, and state facilities commissions, with activity concentrated in Texas and California. Educational facilities and student housing expansions dominate the recent solicitation mix, with connectors and assembly hardware embedded in bid packages for classroom furniture, residential bedroom furnishings, and office relocation projects.

The Texas Facilities Commission posted an RFP (Solicitation 0010514) on August 17, 2026, due September 10, 2026, for a furniture and fixture package including modular sofas, storage cabinets, shelving, and assembled seating for the Texas School for the Deaf, with unit pricing required on an F.O.B. Destination basis incorporating assembly and installation costs. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation issued an IFB (IFB #SD25-00046) on May 15, 2026, due June 1, 2026, for office moving services and modular furniture installation across six California regions through June 30, 2029, with mandatory 3 percent DVBE participation. Harris County Department of Education, through cooperative purchasing vehicle Choice Partners, solicited modular buildings and related items on June 16, 2026, via a Job Order Contracting structure with a maximum annual aggregate of $200 million across the cooperative program. Sourcewell, on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide, posted an RFP for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, establishing a contracting solution for cooperative purchasing across thousands of governmental agencies. The code sees minimal discrete activity as a standalone procurement category; connectors and fasteners appear as specification components within larger furniture system and building assembly contracts rather than as primary line items.
