UNSPSC 60121246: Metal easels

UNSPSC 60121246 Metal easels is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure display and presentation furniture for library branches, training facilities, and public spaces. The City of Philadelphia Free Library has posted three micro purchase opportunities under this code since August 2026, each with a contract ceiling of $45,000 adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index. Recent solicitations name easels and related display equipment as line items distributed across multiple library branch locations and municipal training units; the Philadelphia opportunities reveal a pattern of the city purchasing office bundling small-dollar furniture and supplies across its library system and internal departments. The issuing body across all recent activity is the City of Philadelphia, posting RFQ notices for delivery to specific branch libraries (Ogontz, Greater Olney, Widener, Queen Memorial, Joseph E. Coleman Northwest Regional, and Holmesburg) and to the city's training unit. Award is to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with vendors required to quote all line items to be eligible for whole-award consideration; the city reserves the right to award by line item when it serves its interests. All pricing must be quoted net and FOB Destination Point with freight included; contract term is 365 days with automatic termination, and no delivery may commence until formal written notification.

Recent activity is concentrated in Pennsylvania, specifically Philadelphia, with three separate micro purchase RFQs posted in August, early October, and mid-October 2026. The most recent solicitation (B2728202, due October 21, 2026) targets the Ogontz Branch Library; the prior opportunity (B2728093, due October 6, 2026) spans five library branches across the city; and an earlier micro purchase (B2727862, due August 31, 2026) addressed training unit supplies. Vendors must maintain workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, general liability insurance with a $500,000 per occurrence minimum, and automobile liability insurance with a $300,000 per occurrence minimum, with the City named as additional insured. The City of Philadelphia requires executed Consent and Authorization Agreements filed in vendor profiles before quote submission through the PHLContracts portal and enforces compliance with Philadelphia business tax and ethics ordinances; Local Business Entity (LBE) certification status is tracked in the procurement system.
