UNSPSC 56111803: Freestanding storage

UNSPSC 56111803 Freestanding storage, a Commodity code, covers physical storage equipment and infrastructure that state and local governments procure for operational use. Based on recent solicitations, the code encompasses law enforcement equipment storage solutions and data center rack installations — infrastructure components that provide organized storage and containment for operational assets, equipment, and IT systems. State and local buyers under this code include cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell on behalf of multiple participating counties and jurisdictions, state agencies such as the State of California, and the broader network of public entities (school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, nonprofit organizations) that access cooperative contracts. The scope reflects practical storage and installation work rather than abstract facility design, with recent solicitations targeting contractors capable of physical installation, integration, and configuration of specialized storage infrastructure within existing operational environments.

Recent activity spans Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and California. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) to establish a cooperative contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment — a multi-state, multi-entity procurement that opens to thousands of governmental agencies and public bodies across the United States and Canada. The State of California issued RFB-IS-26200646 on February 23, 2026 (due March 10, 2026) for data center rack installation services, requiring bidders to complete a mandatory on-site job walk and submit itemized cost structures for materials, labor, equipment, and overhead. Both solicitations target qualified contractors with relevant experience, insurance, bonding, and technical certifications; neither disclosed specific award values or incumbent contractor information in available documentation.
