UNSPSC 60121404: Metal section picture frames

UNSPSC 60121404 Metal section picture frames is a Commodity code covering framed artwork, decorative frames, and framing materials and services procured by state and local education, recreation, and facilities agencies. State and local governments buy picture frames primarily as components of broader art supply, interior design, and decorative artwork packages for schools, museums, public facilities, and recreation centers. Recent solicitations show frames purchased both as standalone items in art supply catalogs and as finished components of comprehensive artwork and wayfinding installation projects. Issuing bodies are diverse, spanning school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, School Board of Marion County), municipal departments (City of Philadelphia, Columbus Consolidated Government), and state agencies managing public facilities (Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board). School districts and city procurement offices are the repeat buyers in recent activity, typically sourcing frames as part of larger art materials or facility decoration contracts.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Pennsylvania based on recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's IFB2026096 (Art Supplies & Equipment - Districtwide, due July 30, 2026), the City of Philadelphia's micro purchase B2727348 for display and picture frames under a requirements contract with a $43,000 maximum value (due June 12, 2026, covering July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), and the Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board's RFP 7925-SJ (Artwork Package at the Tuskegee Airmen Texas State Veterans Home in Fort Worth, including framing and installation services, proposal deadline passed May 5, 2026).
