UNSPSC 56131601: Floor stands

UNSPSC 56131601 Floor stands (Commodity) encompasses retail merchandising units and kiosks that state and local airport authorities procure for concession operations. The solicitations under this code show airport authorities buying prefabricated or custom-manufactured retail displays with integrated fixtures—cash wrap stations, drawer and door assemblies, lighting, security features, and specialized finishes—that serve as point-of-sale platforms and retail presentation structures in terminal environments. Work includes design, manufacturing to specification, delivery, installation, and commissioning. Issuing bodies are airport authorities (aviation departments), not traditional retailers or hospitality operators; these are capital equipment procurements tied to concession infrastructure rather than general merchandise display. The competitive landscape centers on vendors with manufacturing capability, five-year track records in similar installations, bonding capacity, and ability to navigate airport-specific constraints such as after-hours installation windows and fixed-dimension doorways.

Recent activity clusters in Florida airports. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority issued ITN 26-615 in October 2026 for manufacture, delivery, and installation of ten retail merchandising units with a response deadline of November 6, 2026, requiring pre-approved materials and specific component part numbers with installation beginning April 1, 2027. Broward County Aviation Department posted a non-binding Request for Information in September 2026 to survey vendor availability for prefabricated RMU kiosks at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, with responses due September 11, 2026. A separate Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626) posted in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment shows no direct relevance to the floor-stands code and represents a tagging mismatch; that opportunity is not representative of the category's actual activity.
