UNSPSC 14111526: Telephone message pads or books

UNSPSC 14111526 Telephone message pads or books is a Commodity code for stock office supplies that state and local governments procure as part of broader office-supply bundles. While the code name specifies message pads and books, recent state and local solicitations under this code are buying telephone message pads alongside dozens of other general office items — receipt books, envelopes, file folders, fasteners, writing instruments, markers, binders, and storage solutions — as line items within large pooled purchasing agreements. School districts are the primary buyers, typically acting through cooperative purchasing agencies or district procurement offices that consolidate demand across multiple schools to achieve volume discounts and simplified vendor management.

The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems, posted an office-supplies bid (Bid 2027-006) on August 10, 2026 with a response deadline of September 29, 2026 at 8:45 a.m. The opportunity spans approximately 150 line items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units depending on product; pricing is F.O.B. destination to CPA's warehouse in Cleveland, Georgia with Net 30 payment terms and anticipated 30-day delivery windows. Physical samples are mandatory unless the vendor proposes CPA's currently carried brand or a previously approved brand. The contract period runs January 1 through December 31, 2027. Award is not based on lowest price alone — CPA reserves discretion to evaluate vendor relations, past performance, service, warranty validity, customer feedback, and product performance. Recent activity under this code is concentrated in Georgia school-district cooperative purchasing.
