UNSPSC 56141702: Metal chest or box

Decorative metal chests or boxes of various sizes combined with furniture and furnishings.

UNSPSC 56141702 Metal chest or box is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not reflect the code's nominal scope. The three substantive opportunities on file—a City of Doral RFQ for custom balloon décor and event installations for a 5K run, and two separate City of Cooper City solicitations (RFP and IFB) for holiday lighting and decorations services—involve temporary event and seasonal décor production and installation rather than metal storage containers. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all classification for event décor, signage, and seasonal display work that falls outside more specialized codes; the mismatch between the code definition and actual buying activity suggests either miscoding at issuance or a systematic classification gap in how jurisdictions tag temporary décor procurement.

The issuing bodies are small municipalities in Florida—Doral and Cooper City—pursuing holiday and event décor on a recurring basis, with Cooper City running two separate solicitations for substantially similar holiday lighting and decorations work within six weeks (IFB posted July 2, 2026, RFP re-solicitation posted August 18, 2026). Geographic activity is limited to Florida in the recent record; no standout repeat buyers or multi-jurisdiction procurement patterns are evident. The Doral 5K balloon décor RFQ (QQNO202608, due September 4, 2026) required complete production, delivery, installation, and removal of themed balloon installations and photo backdrops outdoors at Doral Meadow Park, with installations ready by 5:30 AM on September 26, 2026. Cooper City's holiday lighting and decorations work requires submission of client references, Commercial General Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance, performance bonds, and compliance certifications; contract term and pricing schedules are referenced but not detailed in the source. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing metal storage or containment products.
