UNSPSC 44121613: Staple removers

UNSPSC 44121613 Staple removers, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of small office tools and accessories—specifically staple removers and similar desk implements—that state and local governments and cooperative purchasing agencies acquire as part of broader office supply buys. In practice, staple removers rarely appear as standalone line items; they are sourced alongside receipt books, file folders, fasteners, writing instruments, markers, binders, and storage solutions as part of consolidated office and classroom supply contracts. Buying bodies soliciting under or alongside this code include school districts, cooperative purchasing agencies serving multiple districts, and municipal offices. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative representing 35 school systems, is a standout repeat buyer in this space, aggregating demand across its membership.

Recent activity centers on Georgia through CPA's 2027-006 Office Supplies Bid, posted August 10, 2026, with bids due September 29, 2026 at 8:45 a.m. The solicitation covered approximately 150+ line items of office supplies with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units depending on the product; physical samples were mandatory for most items unless the bidder proposed CPA's currently carried brand or a previously approved brand. The contract period runs January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, with anticipated delivery within 30 days of purchase order issuance. All pricing was quoted F.O.B. destination (CPA Warehouse, Cleveland, Georgia), and payment terms were Net 30. CPA reserved the right to award items individually or in combination and to remove vendors from the bidders list for non-compliance or failure to submit a "No Bid" response within 30 days of bid opening.
