UNSPSC 44111809: Templates

UNSPSC 44111809 Templates (Commodity) encompasses art supplies for classroom instruction and administrative use in K–12 school districts, as evidenced by the Donna Independent School District's RFP for brushes, canvas board, chalk, clay, ink, erasers, easels, oil paints, pastels, tempera paints, acrylic paints, art paper, charcoal, standard pencils, watercolors, and craft supplies. Independent school districts represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring these consumables through catalog-discount bidding processes that establish multiple-vendor award lists for as-needed purchasing throughout an academic year. The vendor selection model emphasizes flexibility, with school employees sourcing from awarded vendors based on value for specific items rather than relying on a single supplier. Awards are contingent on school board approval, and districts make no guaranteed-purchase commitments, meaning contract values are unpredictable.

Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, posted RFP 011326-867 on March 21, 2026, with responses due April 8, 2026, seeking discount-based proposals off printed catalog prices, manufacturer's lists, website prices, or shelf prices on an F.O.B. Destination basis.

Vendors must submit detailed documentation including a Deviations Form, tax identification, conflict-of-interest certifications, and liability insurance with the school district named as additional insured. Texas State Purchasing Laws govern the procurement; no set-aside designations or minority-business preferences are specified in the available solicitation materials.
