UNSPSC 44101719: Copy or scan accessories

UNSPSC 44101719 Copy or scan accessories, a Commodity code, encompasses consumables and parts that state and local governments procure to support photocopiers, multifunction devices, and scanning equipment — primarily toner cartridges, drum units, fuser assemblies, paper trays, and related supplies. Activity under the code involves catalog discount bids and cooperative purchasing vehicles that bundle copy-machine sourcing with accessory supply agreements, though recent opportunities show the code tag applied to broader equipment procurement where accessories form one component of a larger copying-system contract.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state-led purchasing cooperatives and special-purpose districts serving multiple jurisdictions. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, which represents school districts and municipalities across its footprint, posted an IFB in August 2026 for a two-year catalog discount bid on copy machines (CM2628) due September 29, 2026, with estimated total expenditures of $9,378,324 and evaluation focused on discount percentages, payment terms, and commercial flexibility. Sourcewell, the Minnesota state cooperative, posted an RFP in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment (#061626) due June 16, 2026, structured as a blanket-purchasing agreement for participating entities across multiple states and Canada; this opportunity's tagging under copy accessories appears misaligned with its nominal scope and likely reflects upstream procurement system coding rather than accessory-specific activity. Geographic spread includes Texas and the Upper Midwest (Minnesota, Washington state), with the Region 7 cooperative activity suggesting broader coverage across school district regions in its service area. Recent bidding activity emphasizes price, contract terms, and vendor compliance over technical specifications, signaling that state and local procurement under this code prioritizes cost control and supply-chain simplicity in routine equipment-support purchasing.
