UNSPSC 56121703: Cubbie units

UNSPSC 56121703 Cubbie units is a Commodity code naming storage cubbies and similar compartmented classroom furniture that state and local governments procure primarily for school districts. The recent solicitations show that this code, despite its narrow nominal scope, encompasses a much broader range of classroom and institutional storage, organizational, and learning-environment furnishings. The work solicited includes Montessori classroom supplies and materials (cubbies, shelving, manipulatives, task cards, nomenclature resources), school music library shelving and storage systems (media filing, instrument racks, garment racks, safety cabinets), agriculture lab furnishings (chairs, tables, bookcases, credenzas, shelving), library media shelving (mobile and stationary units, book trucks), student housing and classroom furniture packages (task chairs, conference chairs, storage cabinets, desks, tables, modular seating), and school corridor lockers. The issuing bodies are overwhelmingly school districts—Hillsborough County Public Schools, Jackson County School System, Columbia County School District, Greene County School District, Adrian Public Schools, New Buffalo Area Schools—with cooperative purchasing agencies (Cooperative Purchasing Agency serving 35 Georgia systems, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas) and state facilities commissions also active. One higher-education institution (Christopher Newport University) and one state corrections agency (Georgia Department of Corrections) appear in the recent set.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Michigan, with a cooperative procurement reaching multiple states. Recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITQ for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies with responses due April 10, 2026; Jackson County School System's RFP for furniture procurement at three schools with proposals due November 16, 2026; Columbia County School District's RFP for library media shelving at Harlem High School with proposals due September 18, 2026; Greene County School District's cooperative-purchasing award to Nu-Idea School Supply for agriculture lab furnishings valued at $50,255.63 with a September 17, 2026 protest deadline; Texas Facilities Commission's RFP for furniture and fixture packages at the Texas School for the Deaf with proposals due September 10, 2026; and Cooperative Purchasing Agency's warehouse-stock furniture bid with responses due September 22, 2026. The code shows consistent demand from K-12 procurement offices using RFPs, RFQs, ITQs, and IBFs; cooperative purchasing vehicles are common, and responses span single-district buys to multi-district warehouse agreements with estimated total expenditures reaching $21.5 million in at least one region-level procurement.
