UNSPSC 56111806: Swiveling barber chair

This is a type of chair used in barber shops and has an arm and feet rest.

UNSPSC 56111806 Swiveling barber chair, a Commodity code, covers seating equipment purchased by cities and school districts for barber services, cosmetology training, and related personal-care instruction. State and local governments buy this code as standalone furniture for barbershops or salons operated by municipalities, or as part of broader cosmetology and barbering supplies procurement for public career-training programs in school districts. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal purchasing departments and independent school districts with career-and-technical-education programs.

The City of Philadelphia solicited barber chairs as a micro purchase (IFB B2627138, due May 28, 2026) with a contract value cap of $43,000 and evaluation based on price competitiveness and specification compliance. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued an RFP for cosmetology equipment and supplies (RFP 011326-894, due April 8, 2026) that included barber chairs and related salon equipment as part of a catalog-discount bid awarded to multiple vendors for the 2026–2027 school year. Recent activity centers in Texas and Pennsylvania, with both opportunities requiring F.O.B. Destination delivery and both soliciting through electronic procurement platforms. The school district procurement explicitly seeks flexible multiple-award structures to allow staff to source items from the best-value vendor per product, whereas the municipal procurement operates as a traditional lowest-responsive-bidder award.
