UNSPSC 56111906: Industrial cabinets or drawers or shelving

UNSPSC 56111906 Industrial cabinets or drawers or shelving (Commodity) captures metal and general-purpose shelving units that state and local governments procure for warehouse, records-storage, and facility-expansion purposes. Recent solicitations show purchasing departments, courthouse facilities, and educational institutions buying standard metal shelving with specified dimensions, load ratings, and installation services—frequently to address immediate capacity constraints or operational needs.

The City of Philadelphia, Chatham County Georgia, and the City of Phoenix drive the recent activity, issuing RFQs and sealed bids for shelving between March and July 2026. Philadelphia posted two micro-purchase RFQs (one for general shelving with $45,000 pricing cap and another for general supplies including shelving with sub-$40,000 contract value, both due late June and early July 2026); Chatham County solicited bids for purchase and installation of 71 metal shelving units (42" W × 30" D × 87" H, 625-pound load capacity per level) for the Clerk of Superior Court with a fourteen-day RFQ window closing April 2, 2026 and a 30% combined M/WBE participation goal; Phoenix issued a five-year sealed-offer IFB for warehouse shelving effective August 1, 2026, with the original June 1 due date extended to October 18, 2026 via addendum. Philadelphia applies Local Business Entity (LBE) preference on larger procurements and requires executed Consent & Authorization forms and LBE certifications where applicable. Contract terms typically run 365 days with FOB Destination delivery, 60-day quote validity, and General Liability insurance requirements ($500,000–$1,000,000 per occurrence depending on jurisdiction). Geographic activity clusters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona, with no standout multi-state repeat buyer evident in the recent block.
