UNSPSC 14111519: Cardstock papers

UNSPSC 14111519 Cardstock papers, a Commodity code, covers office and institutional supply procurement of specialty and colored paper stocks used in classroom and administrative settings, as evidenced by recent state and local bids soliciting colored copy paper, cover stock, parchment, and specialty sheets in specified brands and hues for delivery to school systems and government offices. State and local governments buy this code primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and school-system consortia that aggregate demand across multiple districts. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA) in Georgia represents a typical issuing body, serving 35 school districts through a nonprofit warehouse model. School districts and state agencies dominate recent activity; the CPA solicitation shows the breadth of items — 39 line items spanning standard legal and 11" x 17" copy paper, branded colored sheets (Astrobrights, Eagle Color, Pacon), pastel options, parchment, and 65–67# cover stock, with annual quantities ranging from 30 to 2,000 units per item.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and California. The CPA's 2027–009 Copy Paper, Colored & Odd Sizes Bid (RFQ, response due September 10, 2026) sought colored paper and cover stock for the 35-district cooperative, with contract term January 1 through December 31, 2027, F.O.B. destination to Cleveland, Georgia, and Net 30 payment terms. The California Department of General Services Procurement Division (on behalf of the Office of State Publishing) issued a vendor participation notice in July 2026 seeking paper stock for statewide voter registration cards, though contract specifications, volumes, and timeline were not detailed in available documentation. A third opportunity posted by Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle) in May 2026 was tagged to this code but described law enforcement equipment procurement, not cardstock, indicating potential misclassification in state systems.
