UNSPSC 56121510: Teacher desk

A desk placed in front of or above the teacher's platform for placing books and others when conducting class or lecturing.

UNSPSC 56121510 Teacher desk (Commodity) encompasses classroom furniture that state and local school districts actively procure for PreK-12 facilities, often as components of larger classroom or learning-space outfitting projects. Recent solicitations show school districts buying teacher desks alongside complementary furniture—student seating, tables, storage, and shelving—in bundled classroom packages, Montessori learning environments, and specialized subject-area setups. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts of varying size: Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida's seventh-largest system serving 225,000 students), Jackson County School System (Georgia), Columbia County School District (Georgia), Greene County School District (Georgia), and the Cooperative Purchasing Agency serving 35 Georgia school systems. The desk appears in mixed procurement vehicles: direct ITQs and RFPs by individual districts, cooperative purchasing agreements leveraging TIPS contracts, and regional cooperative arrangements. Pricing is typically requested as firm unit costs with 15 percent markup caps and net 45 payment terms, with contracts commonly renewable annually for up to four years based on appropriations and performance.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, where multiple school districts have posted opportunities since late August 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Public Schools' October 19, 2026 ITQ for Montessori supplies (310 line items including classroom fixtures, response due April 10, 2026); Jackson County School System's August 4, 2026 RFP for furniture procurement at three schools with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting August 13, 2026 (response due September 3, 2026); Columbia County School District's September 4, 2026 RFP for library shelving and related furniture (response due September 18, 2026); and Greene County School District's September 10, 2026 cooperative purchasing notice via TIPS Contract 200301 with Nu-Idea School Supply (total value $50,255.63, protest deadline September 14, 2026). The Cooperative Purchasing Agency's August 12, 2026 warehouse stock bid (response due September 22, 2026) and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's June 23, 2026 catalog discount bid for classroom furniture (estimated annual expenditures $21,568,516, response due May 26, 2026) show broader regional activity supporting multiple districts through cooperative vehicles. Teacher desks appear across elementary, middle, and high school applications and in specialized environments including music rooms, agriculture labs, and Montessori classrooms.
