UNSPSC 56112104: Executive seating

UNSPSC 56112104 Executive seating (Commodity) encompasses office and institutional seating that state and local governments procure for facilities ranging from state-supported living centers to public libraries. The code captures the purchase of finished chairs—typically side chairs, arm chairs, and specialized seating for administrative or client-facing spaces—where buyers specify models, dimensions, weight, finish, and delivery timelines. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, city municipalities operating public buildings, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions and entity types. The work does not involve custom design or manufacturing; it is direct procurement of stock or near-stock seating products meeting published specifications, with fixed or itemized pricing and firm delivery commitments.

Recent activity shows geographically dispersed demand across Texas, Wisconsin, Washington, and Minnesota. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017524 on June 29, 2026 for 175 solid wood chairs (100 side chairs, 75 arm chairs) for Denton State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 6, 2026. The City of Dodgeville and Dodgeville Public Library in Wisconsin solicited furniture, fixtures, and equipment including seating for a new library building via competitive bid in January 2026, with submissions due February 19, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to multiple state and local jurisdictions across the United States and Canada, with proposals due June 16, 2026—though this opportunity is tangentially related to the executive seating code and may reflect a mislabeling in the source data. Pricing under these solicitations is firm and fixed for contract life unless indexed to the Consumer Price Index or federal minimum wage adjustments with supporting documentation, and delivery timelines range from 14 days to several weeks depending on the procurement vehicle and item complexity.
