UNSPSC 14111610: Construction paper

UNSPSC 14111610 Construction paper is a Commodity code that captures the procurement of art and craft papers by state and local governments, primarily school districts and educational agencies serving both instructional and administrative purposes. State and local buyers under this code source construction paper, newsprint, cardstock, colored papers, and specialty art papers as consumable supplies for classroom use, warehouse inventory replenishment, and specialized printing operations. The mix of issuing bodies reflects heavy concentration in K–12 school districts and county school systems, with occasional procurement by special-purpose authorities such as print shops operated by county reentry facilities. School districts dominate the market, with recent solicitations from Seminole County Schools, Polk County Schools, Marion County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, and Washington County Schools all seeking construction paper and related art supplies through multi-award IFB and ITB vehicles with firm pricing over contract terms of six to twelve months.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with the highest concentration in Florida school districts.
