UNSPSC 14111502: Vellum paper

UNSPSC 14111502 Vellum paper is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized paper products for operational and educational use, primarily through school districts and county agencies. Recent solicitations show that buyers are sourcing not only vellum but a broader range of paper products including construction paper, multi-purpose copy paper, carbonless forms, cover stock, specialty papers, and text stock — all filed under this code despite the vellum designation. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Jordan School District, Marion County School Board) and county agencies (Milwaukee County), each establishing one-year or multi-month term contracts with as-needed ordering rather than fixed purchase commitments. Vendor eligibility restrictions are common: buyers typically reject suppliers dealing exclusively in closeout, surplus, or discontinued inventory, requiring that all items be part of the vendor's standard product line with ongoing availability. Contracts specify FOB Destination with freight prepaid, fixed pricing for six to twelve months, and strict brand and specification requirements with no substitutions or "or equal" products accepted.

Recent activity spans Florida, Wisconsin, and (by school district name) Utah, with the most densely documented opportunities in the Midwest and Southeast. The Milwaukee County Community Reintegration Center print shop procurement (ITB-2026, due February 24, 2026) sought 50 line items including vellum bristol, carbonless forms, and specialty papers for a March 2026 through February 2027 contract with three optional one-year renewals. The Marion County School Board (Bid #4153AM, due January 14, 2026) solicited multi-purpose and specialty papers for a ten-month March through December 2026 contract with 31 line items including colored, parchment, and neon papers. The Jordan School District (27BV06, due July 17, 2026) is establishing a one-year construction paper contract from August 2026 through July 2027 with specified brands only and price guarantees for six months from award. All three procurements emphasize as-needed delivery to central warehouses and require vendors to hold manufacturer authorization and appropriate insurance coverage.
