UNSPSC 14111527: Carbonless paper

UNSPSC 14111527 Carbonless paper is a Commodity code covering multi-part, chemical-coated sheet stock in coated-back (CB), coated front-and-back (CFB), and coated-front (CF) configurations that state and local governments procure for forms, records, and administrative documentation. State and local issuing bodies—including state procurement offices, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose facilities—source carbonless stock in cut-sheet and continuous-feed formats, in laser-compatible and impact-printable variants, across multiple colors, basis weights, and ream or case pack sizes. Recent solicitations show demand for both three-part through five-part configurations and recycled-content products meeting industry quality standards for brightness, smoothness, and finish. Issuing bodies typically establish nonexclusive, negotiated contracts or joint purchase master contracts (JPMCs) to serve multiple departments and agencies on an as-needed basis with firm pricing locked for initial contract terms and limited mid-contract adjustment provisions.

Recent activity spans Mississippi, Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin. The Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration, Office of Purchasing, Travel and Fleet Management issued a nonexclusive negotiated contract RFP (due July 15, 2026) covering coated carbonless sheet in multiple configurations for Hinds County and Jackson City jurisdictions, with F.O.B.
