UNSPSC 56121704: Institutional Storage Cabinets

UNSPSC 56121704 Institutional Storage Cabinets is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure classroom storage cabinetry, shelving systems, and institutional filing and media storage equipment for K-12 schools, higher education facilities, and specialized spaces such as laboratories and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of classroom-specific storage (music room instrument cabinets, library media shelving, agriculture lab storage), modular casework for institutional environments (phenolic and HPL laminate cabinetry for prison facilities), and coordinated furniture packages bundling storage with seating and work surfaces. School districts drive the majority of activity, supported by cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple districts. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Jackson County School System in Georgia, Columbia County School District in Georgia, Greene County School District in Georgia, Adrian Public Schools in Michigan, New Buffalo Area Schools in Michigan), state departments (Texas Facilities Commission on behalf of Texas School for the Deaf; Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission on behalf of Georgia Department of Corrections), municipal entities (City of Philadelphia Free Library), higher education institutions (Christopher Newport University), and purchasing cooperatives serving school systems (Cooperative Purchasing Agency in Georgia, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with recent solicitations from Texas, Michigan, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
