UNSPSC 14111507: Printer or copier paper

UNSPSC 14111507 Printer or copier paper is a Commodity code covering standard office copy paper, colored and specialty papers, and related sheet stock that state and local governments procure for agency operations, school districts, and warehousing. Recent solicitations show two distinct procurement patterns: routine restocking of white copy paper (typically 8.5" x 11", 20 lb. basis, minimum 92 brightness) for district-wide or agency consumption, and one-time or periodic purchases of specialty grades including colored stock, cover sheets, and bond papers in multiple sizes. The issuing-body mix is broad—state procurement offices (California Department of General Services), county school systems (Forsyth County Schools, Bartow County School System, Dougherty County School System, Washington County School District), cities (City of St. Petersburg), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts (Cooperative Purchasing Agency, Georgia). School districts and cooperative purchasing organizations dominate the recent activity.

Geographic spread includes California, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Washington, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities are numerous and current: California Department of General Services issued an RFI on October 8, 2026 (due date) for continuous-feed offset book, bond, roll, and folio papers with an estimated annual contract value of $5 million and anticipated formal bid release in December 2026; City of St. Petersburg issued an IFB (IFB26317) on August 18, 2026 (due September 1) for custom-printed envelopes and copy paper under a three-year multi-year agreement with SBE/MBE/WBE participation required; Forsyth County Schools conducted a Request for Bid (B26-07) due May 28, 2026 for multi-purpose copy paper in three formats, estimating 14,000 to 16,000 cases annually in truckload quantities; and Bartow County School System requested bids (IFB2027-01) due July 30, 2026 for approximately 3,500 cases of 8.5" x 11" white copy paper under a one-year contract with four renewal options. Many school district procurements include local-preference policies, insurance and E-Verify compliance requirements, and firm pricing commitments across the contract term. Cooperative purchasing vehicles expand awarded contracts to multiple jurisdictions statewide.
