UNSPSC 56112102: Task seating

UNSPSC 56112102 Task seating, a Commodity code, encompasses ergonomic and standard seating equipment that state and local governments procure for operational facilities ranging from emergency communications centers to state-supported living centers and convention venues. The code covers both specialized task chairs designed for intensive use environments and general-purpose seating for institutional settings. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state health and human services agencies, county emergency services departments, and special-purpose authorities managing public facilities. Recent solicitations show a mix of fixed-specification procurements for functional seating and open-market bids for high-volume banquet or event seating.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited ergonomic E911 chairs (IWQ 135152, due August 31, 2026) for emergency communications center personnel under an RFQ notice. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two iterations of an IFB for solid wood side and arm chairs at the Denton State Supported Living Center (HHS0017524 and HHS0017524V2, with responses due July 6 and July 31, 2026 respectively), specifying 100 side chairs and 75 arm chairs with firm fixed pricing and F.O.B. Destination delivery. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority requested bids on 8,000 to 12,000 banquet chairs (PE92200RFQ2027000000086, due August 4, 2026), with a mandatory MTS model 6578-HD-UL specification, 12-year minimum warranty, and 60/40 technical-to-cost evaluation split. A cooperative purchasing vehicle through Sourcewell (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) advertised law enforcement equipment to participating Washington counties and other public entities, though the available solicitation summary does not clarify whether task seating is within scope or a secondary offering.
