UNSPSC 56111606: Parts or accessories panel systems

UNSPSC 56111606 Parts or accessories panel systems is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, modular building components, and specialized fabricated structural items. The recent solicitations reveal that the code's scope extends beyond passive panel systems to include active component procurement for fleet management, modular construction support, and emergency services infrastructure. The County of Orange, OC Public Works, is seeking OEM General Motors/Chevrolet parts on an as-needed basis through an IFB due July 27, 2026, covering engine components, brake systems, lamps, batteries, and miscellaneous OEM items for fleet operations. Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), in conjunction with cooperative purchasing vehicle Choice Partners, issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal for modular buildings and related maintenance components under a Job Order Contracting structure with a maximum aggregate contract price of $200 million across the CP cooperative program. The City of Pembroke Pines sought fabrication of a Class A Fire Behavior Training Prop constructed from steel shipping containers under a Quick Quote procurement. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for galvanized finished steel pallets for heavy-duty operational and emergency response applications, with an estimated contract value of $70,264.60 over two years. The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted a competitive sealed bid solicitation for demountable walls through ShopUW+ with bids due February 16, 2026.

Issuing bodies include county public works departments, county boards of commissioners, county offices of education, cities, and higher education institutions. Geographic activity spans California (Orange County), Texas (Harris County), Florida (Hillsborough County, Pembroke Pines), Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and the broader multi-state cooperative purchasing network anchored in Minnesota (Sourcewell). The recent opportunities mix asset procurement (OEM fleet parts, steel pallets, demountable walls) with specialized fabrication and build-to-order services (fire training structures, modular building components). Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear frequently, suggesting pooled procurement strategies and framework contracting as a standard approach within this code. Standard compliance requirements include bonds, insurance, performance warranties, and in some cases prevailing wage and federal labor compliance (Davis-Bacon Act, HUD Section 3 in the Pembroke Pines fire prop solicitation).
