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 tracking fixed and portable seating systems installed in educational, civic, and public facilities. State and local governments are actively procuring gymnasium bleachers, auditorium seating, and theater seats—both as new installations tied to facility renovations and as replacement and maintenance contracts for existing systems. The work spans manufacturing, delivery, and installation of metal-frame telescoping and retractable systems with modular seat units, often including ADA compliance features, warranties, and post-installation training. Issuing bodies include school districts at elementary through high school levels, county education systems, municipal recreation departments, and public universities, with Georgia and Michigan school districts particularly active in the recent record. Most solicitations require turnkey delivery including site preparation, installation labor, and warranty coverage, with evaluation weighting typically divided between specifications compliance, experience and references, pricing, warranty terms, and schedule adherence.

Recent activity spans Georgia (Emanuel County Schools bleachers RFP with July 17, 2026 deadline; Greene County High School theater seats through cooperative purchasing; Kennesaw State University auditorium seating maintenance; City of Commerce cultural center auditorium renovation), Michigan (Breitung Township Schools telescoping bleachers RFP with May 4, 2026 deadline; Grosse Ile Township High School theater seating with extended June 1, 2026 deadline), Mississippi (Hancock County School District bleachers IFB with June 23, 2026 deadline), and Texas (University of Texas temporary bleachers quote request with May 6, 2026 deadline). Emanuel County Schools' motorized system RFP exemplifies the scope: 74-foot-wide, 12-row installation with 450-seat capacity, ICC 300 and IBC compliance, polypropylene seating, factory-trained installation, and three K-12 references required. Hancock County's dual-system IFB for 8-row telescopic units with red plastic seats, non-slip decking, and all-inclusive turnkey pricing at fixed rates for twelve months demonstrates the standardized specifications and long-term price certainty typical of district procurements. Maintenance and repair contracts such as KSU's comprehensive annual inspection and preventive maintenance RFP (posted February 17, 2026, due March 24) indicate growing focus on asset lifecycle management beyond new installations.
