UNSPSC 56131502: Head forms

UNSPSC 56131502 Head forms is a Commodity-tier code that in recent state and local procurement covers the manufacture, delivery, and installation of retail merchandising units (RMUs) and kiosks for airport concession operations. The work involves fabrication of prefabricated display and sales structures with integrated components such as drawers, doors, cash wrap stations, lighting, security systems, and material finishes to specification. Recent solicitations show airport authorities (the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority and Broward County Aviation Department) as the primary issuing bodies, with one solicitation specifying detailed material requirements including real-wood veneer, solid surface countertops, powder-coated finishes, laser-cut panels, and coil fabric security curtains. Respondents must typically demonstrate five years of continuous manufacturing and installation experience, provide client references, obtain performance bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value, and carry workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance. The code appears narrowly targeted to this airport retail fixture segment; a parallel law enforcement equipment solicitation posted under the same code (Sourcewell RFP #061626) does not align with RMU scope and likely reflects a tagging mismatch in the issuing system.

Geographic activity centers on Florida, where the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 26-615) for manufacture, delivery, and installation of ten RMUs with a response deadline of November 6, 2026, and the Broward County Aviation Department issued a market-survey Request for Information (RFI PNC2139590F1) for prefabricated RMU kiosks closing September 11, 2026. The Greater Orlando solicitation is the most detailed recent opportunity, specifying pre-approved vendors and materials per appendix, requiring installation during off-hours (10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.), and laying out a timeline extending to Board approval in March 2027 and commissioning around April 1, 2027. No contract value is disclosed in either airport solicitation. Activity remains sparse; the code shows little recent pursuit beyond these airport concession-focused opportunities.
