UNSPSC 14111512: Graph paper

UNSPSC 14111512 Graph paper is a Commodity code that covers paper products solicited by state and local school districts for instructional, office, and operational warehouse supply, though the recent opportunities show the code is applied broadly to multi-purpose and specialty paper purchases beyond traditional graph paper alone. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with recent solicitations from Jordan School District (Utah), Washington County School District (Washington), the School Board of Marion County (Florida), and Milwaukee County (Wisconsin) seeking paper supplies for central warehouses, instructional use, and specialized print-shop operations. The scope of work spans colored copy paper, construction paper, cardstock, newsprint, multi-purpose paper, carbonless forms, specialty papers (vellum, bristol, label stock), and related binding and adhesive supplies. Vendors must carry products as standard inventory with ongoing availability—closeout, surplus, liquidation, and discontinued-inventory dealers are explicitly ineligible across these solicitations. Pricing is guaranteed for contract terms ranging from six to twelve months, with all deliveries made FOB Destination Freight Prepaid and orders placed on an as-needed basis rather than at a fixed volume upon award.

The code sees concentrated activity in the Mountain West and Southeast, with recent opportunities in Utah, Washington, Florida, and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include Jordan School District's IFB 27BV05 for instructional paper with a July 17, 2026 response date and a one-year contract term; Washington County School District's IFB 1-26060-2701 for instructional and paper supplies with a June 22, 2026 response date and multiple anticipated awards; the School Board of Marion County's ITB 4153AM for multi-purpose paper with a January 14, 2026 response date and a ten-month term; and Milwaukee County's ITB for paper products for the Community Reintegration Center Print Shop with a February 24, 2026 response date and a one-year initial term plus optional three-year renewals. School districts dominate the issuing mix, though Milwaukee County represents county-level procurement. Estimated annual quantities vary widely depending on product type—from hundreds of units for specialty items to over 14,000 units for consumables like gluesticks and over 6,000 cases of copy paper. Brand-specific requirements are strict; substitutions and "or equal" products are rejected in most recent solicitations.
