UNSPSC 60101732: Pointing sticks

UNSPSC 60101732 Pointing sticks (Commodity) appears in recent state and local procurement with minimal activity and poor code alignment. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Events DC's RFQ 25S027, posted January 27, 2026, for Congressional Conventioneer Lecterns—solicits purpose-built conference lecterns with integrated electrical and lighting components, a scope substantially disconnected from the nominal "pointing sticks" commodity definition. The lecterns specified measure 25 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 48 inches high and include solid wood construction, LED gooseneck lighting, XLR adapters, power strips with circuit breakers, and storage shelving—assets that function as complete podium systems rather than pointing or cursor-control devices. The mismatch between code and actual procurement suggests either miscoding in the jurisdiction's sourcing system or use of this commodity code as a catch-all for input devices or presentation equipment where no better match exists.

Events DC, an independent authority of the District of Columbia Government, issued the RFQ with a response deadline of February 17, 2026, targeting firm-fixed price unit pricing for base-term and four one-year renewal deliveries through September 30, 2026. The jurisdiction applies aggressive local preference, offering Certified Business Enterprise preference points (up to 12 points) across multiple categories including small business, resident-owned, disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and local manufacturing designations, along with subcontracting minimums of 35 percent to certified small or business enterprises for contracts exceeding $250,000 and First Source Employment requirements for contracts over $300,000. No award value or budget ceiling appears in the RFQ; pricing is determined through competitive quotation. The code shows no measurable recent procurement volume in state and local markets, making demand signals unavailable for pursuit evaluation.
