UNSPSC 44103506: Binding tape

UNSPSC 44103506 Binding tape is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, posted RFP 011326864 on March 21, 2026, for Library Books & Supplies as a catalog bid effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with options to extend for two additional one-year periods. The solicitation encompasses a broad range of library materials—audio cassettes and CDs, fiction and non-fiction titles, reference materials, periodicals, laboratory materials, and educational resources for K-12 and higher education settings—but does not identify binding tape as a discrete line item or scope element. The district intends to award contracts to multiple vendors and structure pricing as percentage discounts off published catalog prices, manufacturer's lists, or website prices, with shipping and handling included and F.O.B. Destination delivery. No guaranteed minimum purchase quantities are promised.

The recent opportunity block contains only one posted solicitation under this code, from a Texas school district. Binding tape itself—adhesive tape used to bind or seal documents, packages, or materials—does not appear to be the focal point of the library supplies procurement, and the code shows limited recent state and local activity in the indexed records. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive in the current market and monitor for future standalone binding tape solicitations from school districts, county offices, or municipal procurement offices. The single indexed opportunity reflects a broad library materials catalog bid where binding tape might be sourced incidentally rather than as a primary procurement category.
