UNSPSC 56112108: Combination chair with desk

UNSPSC 56112108 Combination chair with desk (Commodity) encompasses integrated seating and work-surface units that state and local governments procure for classroom, office, and institutional settings. Recent solicitations show school districts acquiring these chairs primarily as components within broader furniture packages rather than as standalone line items, though the code captures units designed to combine seating and desktop functionality into a single form factor.

School districts across Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Virginia represent the dominant buying population for this code, with superintendencies and purchasing cooperatives managing most solicitations. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, serving multiple school districts through cooperative vehicles, posted a high-value classroom furniture RFP (CLSF2628, estimated total expenditure $21,568,516 across two years) accepting responses through June 18, 2026, structured as a catalog discount bid for 62 previously awarded vendors. The University of Houston issued an ITB for task chairs and worktables (ITB730UOFH3120, due June 9, 2026) specifying stacking plastic and polypropylene seating, and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (the fourth-largest public school system in Texas) released two separate furniture RFPs covering standard campus furniture (RFP 2026-052, due April 8, 2026) and administrative/library furniture (IFB 2026-051, due April 8, 2026). Smaller district-level procurements such as those from Effingham County Schools and Marion County Schools in Florida, and Rabun County Schools in Georgia, sought classroom furniture packages with delivery and installation included. The code sees steady activity from higher-education institutions as well—Christopher Newport University in Virginia issued two separate IFBs for furniture procurement (Welcome Center furnishings due June 25, 2026, and outdoor furniture for the Integrated Science Center due April 28, 2026)—and from county purchasing offices handling facilities upgrades (Hillsborough County's sole-source recliner procurement for Fire Rescue stations, $130,699 over two years). Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as OMNIA Partners Cooperative and Sourcewell appear frequently as the contracting mechanism, expanding reach across multiple jurisdictions and entity types with pre-negotiated terms. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Florida, followed by Georgia and Virginia; recent opportunities have also appeared in California (Mt. San Antonio College) and Minnesota-based cooperatives serving nationwide participation. Pricing and delivery, along with compliance with environmental standards such as VOC emissions ceilings, feature prominently in evaluation criteria across recent solicitations.
