UNSPSC 56112303: Seat pivot

A brace or pin on which the seat is installed, linking the back rest to the seat and enabling it to fold closed and open.

UNSPSC 56112303 Seat pivot, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local activity aligned with its nominal scope. Of the fifteen recent opportunities tagged with this code, only one—the Greene County School District's February 2026 notice of intent to award 298 Leadcom Arcadia Elite theater seats through TIPS-USA cooperative purchasing—directly involves seat components as a standalone product line. The remaining solicitations, while posted under the code, predominantly concern bleacher systems (motorized telescoping, temporary, and fixed installation), auditorium renovations with seating as an integrated component, furniture and fixtures distribution, and unrelated services such as moving and aluminum planks, indicating a systemic mislabeling of opportunities in state and local procurement systems. The Greene County award, valued at $128,518, went to H.E. Hodge Company and represents the only recent transaction where a seat pivot or its functional equivalent served as the primary procurement object.

Activity is scattered across school districts in Georgia, Michigan, and Mississippi, with school-based gymnasium and theater seating representing the most common use case. Recent solicitations from Emanuel County Schools (July 2026, motorized bleachers), Hancock County School District (June 2026, telescopic bleachers), Breitung Township Schools in Michigan (May 2026, VersaTract telescopic seating), and Kennesaw State University (February 2026, auditorium seating maintenance and repair) all involve seating infrastructure but frame the procurement as complete systems rather than component parts. The code's minimal activity and prevalence of miscoded opportunities suggest that state and local buyers in this space use higher-tier family and class codes (bleachers, auditorium seating, gymnasium furnishings) more consistently than the commodity-level pivot classification. Pursuit of this code is not recommended unless your firm specializes in replacement seat components or mechanical pivot mechanisms sold as discrete line items to institutions managing existing installations.
