UNSPSC 56111601: Screens for panel systems

UNSPSC 56111601 Screens for panel systems is a Commodity code that covers modular partition systems, panel dividers, and screening components used in institutional and commercial construction projects. State and local governments procure these items as components of larger furniture and fixture packages for educational facilities, student housing, and classroom expansions, typically bundled with desks, storage, and related furnishings rather than as standalone screen products. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily state higher-education systems and county education agencies—notably the Texas Facilities Commission and Harris County Department of Education appear as active buyers. The scope of work encompasses both direct procurement of screens and related items and job order contracting arrangements that provide ongoing maintenance and replacement of modular building components across education and institutional portfolios.

The recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas, with the Texas Facilities Commission's August 2026 RFP for furniture and fixtures at the Texas School for the Deaf (response due September 10, 2026) and Harris County Department of Education's June 2026 Competitive Sealed Proposal for modular buildings and related items (response due June 16, 2026, with tentative award August 19, 2026) representing the primary market activity. The HCDE opportunity is structured as a Job Order Contracting IDIQ through the Choice Partners cooperative purchasing vehicle, with a maximum annual aggregate contract price of $200 million across all CP members and an initial one-year term with automatic renewal options. The Texas Facilities Commission RFP requires unit pricing on an F.O.B. Destination basis with freight and installation incorporated, valid through December 31, 2027, and mandates compliance with a mandatory subcontracting plan requiring good faith outreach to at least two Texas certified VetHUB vendors. Neither opportunity identifies set-asides or enterprise-specific restrictions, indicating open competitive procurement. Recent activity outside Texas is minimal in the source data provided.
