UNSPSC 56112304: Chair seat

The shell or lower part of a chair that supports the weight of a seated person.

UNSPSC 56112304 Chair seat (Commodity) covers the procurement of individual seating units by state and local governments, ranging from specialized theatrical and auditorium seats to general-purpose chairs for institutional settings. Recent solicitations show districts and public bodies procuring fixed theater seating with detailed ergonomic and fabric specifications, stackable vinyl audience chairs, and bleacher seat modules as part of larger gymnasium or auditorium installations. The work encompasses seat provision alone and, more commonly, turnkey installations bundled with structural bleacher systems, demolition of existing seating, site preparation, ADA compliance certification, and operator training. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, universities, county recreation departments, and fire rescue services across multiple states, with school districts appearing as the dominant buyer type. Representative recent solicitations include Greene County School District (Georgia) procuring 298 Leadcom Arcadia Elite theater seats at $128,518.00 through a cooperative purchasing contract with H.E. Hodge Company (notice of intent posted February 4, 2026), the City of Frisco (Texas) seeking 130 vinyl stackable theatrical chairs with a best-value quote due March 12, 2026, and Kennesaw State University (Georgia) establishing a service contract for auditorium seating maintenance and repair (eRFP posted February 17, 2026, due March 24, 2026).

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Michigan and Mississippi. Georgia school districts have posted multiple seat and bleacher specifications—Emanuel County Schools issued an RFP for motorized telescoping gymnasium bleachers at Swainsboro Middle School (due July 17, 2026), and Breitung Township Schools (Michigan) sought VersaTract Telescopic Seating System installation at Kingsford High School (sealed bid due May 4, 2026). Hancock County School District (Mississippi) bid two telescopic bleacher seating systems for approximately $50,000 (due June 23, 2026). A pattern of spring-through-summer solicitation activity suggests budget cycles aligned with facility planning and summer facility upgrades. Cooperative purchasing vehicles (TIPS-USA) and direct RFQ channels dominate the procurement approach, with evaluation criteria consistently emphasizing product quality, installation capability, warranty coverage, ADA compliance, and references from similar K-12 projects. Set-asides and disadvantaged-enterprise designations do not appear in recent postings under this code.
