UNSPSC 56112200: Desking systems

System furniture consisting of interconnecting or freestanding desks or tables that are not dependent on panels to supports worksurfaces, overhead storage or shelving.

UNSPSC 56112200 Desking systems is a Class code covering the supply, delivery, and installation of modular and fixed office desks, sit/stand converter units, height-adjustable work surfaces, and related desk components. State and local governments procure under this code to furnish new office spaces, renovate existing facilities, and equip specialized workspaces such as agricultural laboratories, criminal justice field offices, and administrative buildings. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments (Philadelphia), county school districts (Greene County), state agencies (Texas Office of the Attorney General, Texas General Land Office), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell). Recent solicitations show two procurement patterns: micro-purchases and smaller quotes under $45,000 ceilings handled through municipal eProcurement platforms, and larger furnishings projects requiring full-scope RFP responses with design services, installation labor, and brand-specification compliance.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia issued RFQ B2727538 on July 13, 2026 for office desks (micro purchase, quotes due July 27, 2026) and RFQ B2728084 on September 23, 2026 for sit/stand converter desks (due October 7, 2026), both through PHLContracts with $45,000 contract ceilings and 365-day terms.
