UNSPSC 44111810: Triangles

UNSPSC 44111810 Triangles (Commodity) covers art supplies and drafting materials that state and local governments, particularly school districts, procure for classroom instruction and administrative use. The code encompasses brushes, canvas board, chalk, clay, ink, erasers, easels, oil paints, pastels, tempera paints, acrylic paints, art paper, charcoal, standard pencils, watercolors, and craft supplies. Issuing bodies under this code include independent school districts establishing vendor lists for ongoing as-needed purchases throughout the school year, typically through catalog discount bidding processes that award multiple vendors to give end users flexibility in selecting suppliers based on value for specific items.

Recent activity shows school districts in Texas soliciting under the code. Donna Independent School District (DISD) in Cameron County issued RFP 011326-867 for Art Supplies on March 21, 2026, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, seeking multiple award vendors for the 2026-2027 school year (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027) with optional renewal for up to two additional one-year periods. The procurement used a catalog discount model in which vendors submit percentage discounts from printed catalog prices, manufacturer lists, website prices, or shelf prices, with all shipping and handling included on an F.O.B. Destination basis. Awards are contingent on school board approval, and no guaranteed purchase quantities are specified. Vendors must comply with Texas State Purchasing Laws, submit required documentation including a Deviations Form, tax identification, conflict-of-interest certification, criminal history certifications where employees have student contact, and maintain workers' compensation and general liability insurance naming the district as additional insured.
