UNSPSC 14111611: Invitation or announcement cards

UNSPSC 14111611 Invitation or announcement cards is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses office paper supplies including copy paper, colored paper, and cover stock sourced by state and local educational and administrative bodies. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects purchasing for classroom and office use rather than printed invitations or announcements per se — a notable divergence between the code's nominal scope and what jurisdictions are actually buying. State and local governments procure these supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct competitive bids, typically in standardized formats (legal size, 11" × 17", letter) and specialty options (parchment, pastel, cover stock) in specified brands and quantities. School districts and multi-jurisdiction purchasing consortia are the primary buyers under this code.

The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems, posted the most recent relevant opportunity under this code — Bid #2027-009 for copy paper, colored paper, and cover stock, due September 10, 2026 at 10:45 a.m. The solicitation covered 39 line items with annual quantities ranging from 30 to 2,000 units per item, with awards effective January 1 through December 31, 2027 and pricing quoted F.O.B. destination, Net 30. Georgia school districts represent the identifiable geographic concentration in recent activity. The code shows minimal recent activity beyond this single Georgia cooperative purchasing vehicle, suggesting limited current demand relative to other office-supply and paper-goods codes.
