UNSPSC 44101707: Stapler units

UNSPSC 44101707 Stapler units is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring office equipment and supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles and catalog discount arrangements, not staplers specifically. Recent activity shows government buyers using this code to tag broader office equipment categories — the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's CM2628 solicitation, for example, solicited copy machines on a two-year catalog discount bid structure with estimated total expenditures of $9.3 million, prioritizing competitive pricing and favorable commercial terms such as discount percentages, net payment terms, and free shipping. A separate Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment (solicitation 061626) was also tagged under this code, though it covers specialized equipment for public-safety agencies rather than general office supplies. The issuing bodies represent cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions — Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative operates across Texas school districts and government entities, while Sourcewell is a State of Minnesota local government unit supporting Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and thousands of other governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada.

The geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's CM2628 solicitation closed June 29, 2026 with a two-year award period running October 15, 2026 through October 15, 2028. Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP (061626) closed June 16, 2026 and serves participating entities across Washington state and beyond. The code's tagging under these two opportunities suggests that state and local cooperative purchasing offices are using this Commodity code broadly to capture office equipment and supplies procurement, though the actual scope of goods and services procured diverges significantly from the nominal code definition.
