UNSPSC 56122002: Laboratory storage units or accessories

UNSPSC 56122002 Laboratory storage units or accessories (Commodity) encompasses steel storage cabinets, classroom storage furniture, and related organizational equipment that state and local governments procure for administrative, educational, and operational facilities. Recent solicitations show demand for modular steel cabinets for municipal departments, classroom storage and furniture systems for school districts, and cabinet replacement services for public housing authorities. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices, independent school districts, regional purchasing cooperatives, housing authorities, and multistate cooperative entities sourcing on behalf of numerous public agencies. Work ranges from outright purchase of storage units via micro-purchase or catalog-discount models to turnkey cabinet replacement and installation contracts bundled with labor and materials.

The code shows activity across Texas, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Washington, and Minnesota, with school districts appearing as repeat buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase IFB for a steel storage cabinet (due July 6, 2026), Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's RFP for classroom furniture and supplies including storage units with an estimated value of $21,568,516 over two years (due May 26, 2026), Northside Independent School District's IFB for administrative and library furniture including storage systems (due April 8, 2026), and the Housing Authority of Clackamas County's IFB for cabinet and countertop replacement across public housing properties (due June 3, 2026). Sourcewell's cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) appears misaligned with the code's scope and shows little relevance to laboratory or classroom storage.
