UNSPSC 56112302: Footboard seating fixture

Structural element attached to a grandstand or auditorium floor on which one installs seating units.

UNSPSC 56112302 Footboard seating fixture is a Commodity code covering bleacher and stadium seating products and installation services for athletic facilities, auditoriums, and multipurpose venues at state and local government sites. State and local governments procure new bleacher systems (fixed and motorized telescoping models), temporary seating installations, and associated demolition and removal services under this code. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing bleachers for baseball, softball, and football fields; athletic stadiums; and gymnasiums, with work ranging from turnkey installations to preventive maintenance and inspection contracts. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Emanuel County Schools in Georgia, Hancock County School District in Mississippi, Northwest Mississippi Community College, Northview Public Schools in Michigan, and Lafayette County School District in Mississippi), a county board of supervisors (Harrison County in Mississippi), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (TIPS USA statewide Job Order Contract in Texas, Sourcewell cooperative for law enforcement and facilities equipment spanning multiple states). School districts dominate the recent activity, with most procurements targeting upgrades to existing athletic facilities or new field construction.

Recent opportunities concentrate in the Southeast (Georgia and Mississippi), with notable activity also in Michigan and Texas through cooperative purchasing structures. Representative recent solicitations include Fulton County Schools' IFB 146-27 for terrace seating at Chattahoochee High School Baseball Field (bids due November 12, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit October 22, 2026); Emanuel County Schools' sealed RFP for motorized telescoping gymnasium bleachers at Swainsboro Middle School (proposals due July 17, 2026, requiring factory-trained installers and K-12 project references); Hancock County School District's sealed bid for two new telescopic bleacher systems with turnkey installation at Hancock North Central Elementary (bids due June 23, 2026); and Northview Public Schools' sealed bid for bleachers and associated athletic stadium work in Grand Rapids, Michigan (bids due September 21, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid walkthrough). TIPS USA's statewide cooperative procurement for auditorium, stadium, field seating, bleachers, and installation services (proposals due September 18, 2026) demonstrates standing demand for framework agreements supporting multiple public entities' task-order-driven acquisitions across Texas. Evaluation criteria commonly emphasize compliance with specifications, vendor experience on K-12 projects, price, warranty terms, and installation schedules; bid security requirements and performance bonds are standard.
