UNSPSC 44121508: Message droppers

UNSPSC 44121508 Message droppers is a Commodity code that encompasses office and desktop supplies including receipt books, envelopes, file folders, fasteners, writing instruments, markers, binders, and storage solutions purchased by school systems and educational cooperatives for classroom and administrative use. State and local buyers under this code solicit supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles and include school districts and regional educational procurement agencies serving multiple districts. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative, is a repeat buyer in this space, consolidating procurement across 35 school systems to achieve volume pricing and standardized sourcing.

The code shows recent activity centered in Georgia, where CPA issued Bid 2027-006 for office supplies on August 10, 2026, with responses due September 29, 2026. The solicitation, posted as an IFB through CPA's cooperative vehicle, encompasses approximately 150 line items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units depending on the product. Physical samples are mandatory for most items unless the bidder proposes CPA's currently carried brand or a previously approved brand, and all pricing must be quoted F.O.B. destination to CPA Warehouse in Cleveland, Georgia, with delivery charges included. The contract period runs January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, with anticipated delivery within 30 days of purchase order issuance. CPA reserves the right to award items individually or in combination based on vendor relations, past performance, service, warranty validity, customer feedback, product performance, and brand changeover costs, meaning lowest price alone does not determine award.
