UNSPSC 56112102: Task seating

UNSPSC 56112102 Task seating is a Commodity code covering seating solutions procured by state and local agencies for administrative, clinical, and public-facing operations. Recent opportunities show state health and human services agencies and local governments soliciting specific chair models by part number for institutional facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited 100 Classic Solid Wood Side Chairs (Model #05009) and 75 Classic Solid Wood Arm Chairs (Model #05007) for a state-supported living center under IFB HHS0017524, due July 6, 2026, with firm-fixed pricing and delivery within 14 days of order unless otherwise specified. Issuing bodies under this code include state departments of health and human services, city and county governments, and public libraries. The code sees activity across mixed jurisdiction types pursuing seating for facility furnishings, institutional environments, and public buildings.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Wisconsin, and the Upper Midwest, with secondary activity across Washington state and states participating in cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB represents the most recent substantive opportunity (due July 6, 2026), specifying model numbers and allowing HHS-approved equivalents with product literature required. The City of Dodgeville and Dodgeville Public Library in Wisconsin issued a separate FFE solicitation in January 2026 (response deadline February 20, 2026) that included furniture as part of a three-package bid split for a new library building. Sourcewell, the Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted an RFP for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026 (response deadline June 16, 2026) intended to serve participating jurisdictions across Washington, Minnesota, and the broader United States; this opportunity's alignment with task seating is unclear and represents potential mistagging. The code shows modest but steady state and local procurement activity concentrated in discrete facility-furnishing projects rather than continuous standing orders.
