UNSPSC 14111503: Parchment paper

UNSPSC 14111503 Parchment paper is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty and functional papers used across state and local government operations, though recent solicitations tagged under this code show state and local buyers pursuing a broader range of paper products and food service supplies. State and local governments use this code family to procure items ranging from certificate and specialty papers for administrative and official use to food service disposables and groceries. The issuing bodies span city procurement offices, state health and human services agencies, and special-purpose state-supported facilities. Philadelphia's City Procurement Office and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as active recent buyers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia posted an IFB for certificate paper on August 21, 2026, with responses due August 25, 2026, seeking supplies under a micro purchase not to exceed $41,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U, with 60-day price validity and FOB Destination delivery. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two related IFBs on August 4, 2026, both due August 25, 2026, for food service groceries and canteen groceries supporting the Mexia State Supported Living Center under fiscal year 2027 contracts running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, each with a one-year extension option at HHSC's discretion. The Texas procurements cite historical FY25 values of $158,000 and $160,500 respectively as guidelines only, with firm fixed pricing required and bidders mandated to quote at least 90 percent of line items to remain eligible for award. Both Texas IFBs permit submission through email, online bid room, or hand delivery and require HUB subcontracting plan compliance and Form 1295 certification if awarded.
