UNSPSC 56111801: Freestanding lighting or power or data components

UNSPSC 56111801 Freestanding lighting or power or data components is a Commodity code. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity aligned with the code's nominal scope; instead, the tagged opportunities chiefly involve office furniture procurement and financial audit services. The one procurement with plausible connection to the code is furniture for 911 statewide communication consoles—specifically operator workstations and telecommunications equipment housing—procured by the Illinois State Police through a GSA piggyback cooperative vehicle. State and local buyers under this code include state police departments and school districts; repeat activity centers on Illinois State Police extensions and change orders for communication console furniture.

Illinois dominates the recent activity, with two separate actions (an original award in June 2026 and a change-order extension in October 2026) for the same 911-Statewide Communication Consoles contract. The Illinois State Police awarded $1.2 million to Watson Furniture Group Inc for telecommunicator consoles via GSA Schedule GS-27F-004GA through an Invitation for Bid, with the original contract set to expire October 26, 2026; a change order due October 21, 2026 extended the contract through October 31, 2028 at no additional cost. A secondary opportunity posted by Klein ISD in Texas in July 2026 requested proposals for classroom and non-classroom furniture but shows minimal relevance to the freestanding lighting or power or data components code. Geographic spread is heavily concentrated in Illinois; Texas appears peripherally and only through a mislabeled furniture solicitation. The code shows limited recent procurement velocity aligned with its intended scope.
