UNSPSC 44111806: Protractors

UNSPSC 44111806 Protractors is a Commodity code that represents individual measurement and drafting instruments, though recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it focuses on bundled art supplies rather than protractors in isolation. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, posted an RFP in March 2026 for Art Supplies (Catalog Bid) covering a broad range of classroom materials 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. The district intends to establish a multiple-vendor award list for as-needed purchasing throughout the 2026-2027 school year, with optional one-year renewals. School districts appear to be the primary issuing body under this code, procuring art supplies for classroom instruction and administrative use through catalog discount bidding structures that allow employees flexibility in vendor selection based on item-level value.

The recent activity documented is concentrated in Texas, with Donna ISD's RFP due April 8, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. via the Bonfire platform or direct delivery to the Donna ISD Purchasing Department. Vendors must submit proposals based on percentage discounts from printed catalogs, manufacturer's price lists, website prices, or shelf prices, with all shipping and handling included on an F.O.B. Destination basis. The district evaluates on selection, service, and price, with no guaranteed purchase volumes specified. Compliance requirements include Texas State Purchasing Law adherence, debarment and felony conviction certifications, federal tax identification, Texas Ethics Commission filing, workers' compensation and general liability insurance naming DISD as an additional insured, and criminal history certifications for employees with direct student contact. No set-aside designations are identified in the solicitation.
