UNSPSC 56141704: Metal vase

Decorative metal vases of different sizes and shapes that match the furniture and furnishings.

UNSPSC 56141704 Metal vase is a Commodity code that state and local governments nominally buy under this designation, but the recent opportunities block shows little activity that corresponds to metal vases as a discrete procurement category. The one substantive opportunity in the record—the City of Charlotte's RFP for a cooperative purchasing agreement on office and classroom furniture, installation, and design services posted February 18, 2026, with proposals due April 3, 2026—encompasses a broad range of furniture types and related services but does not highlight metal vases as a distinct line item or category of spend. The Charlotte RFP, managed through OMNIA Partners as a nationwide cooperative vehicle, covers systems furniture, seating, storage, and miscellaneous office and classroom furniture along with delivery, installation, design consultation, and project management, with the City anticipating approximately $35 million in spend over the full five-year contract term plus optional renewals. A second posting from the City of Cooper City in Florida (IFB No. 2026-5, due July 23, 2026) requested sealed bids for holiday lighting and decorations but is unrelated to metal vases. The third record is a Williamson County administrative notice of office relocation with no procurement scope.

Recent activity under this code is sparse and does not support a clear pattern of metal-vase procurement among state and local issuers. The Charlotte cooperative agreement is the only substantive bid-ready opportunity visible, and it addresses furniture broadly rather than decorative or specialty items. No standout repeat buyers, dedicated metal-vase solicitations, or geographic concentration emerges from the available record. Firms evaluating this code should monitor whether state and local governments use it as a catch-all for decorative metalware or whether it reflects inventory or facilities-management buys; the current record does not establish either pattern, suggesting the code may see limited state and local activity or that jurisdictions tag such purchases under broader furniture or miscellaneous-goods codes instead.
