UNSPSC 44111805: Curves

UNSPSC 44111805 Curves is a Commodity code covering art supplies and materials used in classroom instruction and administrative settings, specifically including brushes, canvas board, chalk, clay, ink, erasers, easels, oil paints, pastels, tempera paints, acrylic paints, art paper, charcoal, standard pencils, watercolors, and craft supplies. State and local governments, particularly independent school districts, procure these materials through catalog discount bidding processes that establish multiple-vendor award lists for as-needed purchasing throughout a fiscal or academic year. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily school districts seeking to maintain flexibility in vendor selection based on value for specific items rather than committing to a single supplier.

Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, posted an RFP (RFP 011326867) on March 21, 2026, for Art Supplies through a catalog discount bid with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. DISD intends to award multiple vendors and establish pricing for the 2026–2027 school year (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027) with optional renewal extending up to two additional one-year periods by mutual agreement. Vendors must submit proposals as percentage discounts from printed catalog prices, manufacturer's price lists, website prices, or shelf prices, with all shipping and handling charges included on an F.O.B. Destination basis unless otherwise negotiated. Proposals are evaluated on selection, service, and price; the district makes no purchase quantity guarantees and specifies no set-aside designations. Submission occurs via the Bonfire platform or hand delivery/mail to 116 N. 10th Street, Donna, TX 78537, and vendors must submit required compliance documentation including a Deviations Form, Felony Conviction Notice Form, Debarment or Suspension Certification, Form W-9, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, and Form 1295 filed with the Texas Ethics Commission.
