UNSPSC 14121901: Standard newsprint

UNSPSC 14121901 Standard newsprint is a Commodity code encompassing bulk paper products that state and local governments procure for operational and instructional use. The code captures the supply of paper stock — primarily copy, writing, and instructional-grade sheets — sourced through established vendor product lines and delivered on contract terms to central warehouses and distribution points serving schools, administrative offices, and similar facilities. Issuing bodies under this code include school districts and other state and local agencies requiring routine, high-volume paper inventory. The scope emphasizes vendors carrying paper as part of ongoing standard inventory rather than jobbers, surplus dealers, or closeout resellers; state and local procurement offices typically exclude off-catalog or discontinued stock and enforce strict brand and product specifications to ensure consistency across the contract term.

Jordan School District posted RFQ 27BV05 on July 10, 2026, seeking instructional paper for its Central Warehouse with bids due July 17, 2026, and a contract term of August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027. The district specified approved brands and products only, with no substitutions permitted, and required six-month price guarantees and FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid delivery terms. Recent activity under the code is limited in the posted record; Jordan School District represents the sole identifiable issuer of a standard newsprint opportunity in the source material. Utah is the geographic anchor for documented recent activity at the commodity level.
