UNSPSC 44121627: Bookmark

A thin marker, commonly made of card, leather, or fabric, used to keep a reader's place in a book and to enable them to easily return to it.

UNSPSC 44121627 Bookmark is a Commodity code that covers books and printed materials purchased by state and local jurisdictions for operational, educational, and public-service purposes. The recent activity shows governments acquiring both specialized collections—such as paperback books for correctional-facility programming—and discrete office supplies like cash boxes, though the cash box procurement appears misaligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local buying under this code spans county sheriff departments, municipal purchasing offices, and other operational units seeking to stock libraries, support programs, or equip facilities. Purchases typically require detailed vendor catalogs with ISBNs, pricing structures, and delivery timelines, and awards go to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications.

The County of Orange, California Sheriff-Coroner Department issued an IFB on April 21, 2026 (response deadline April 20, 2026) for assorted paperback books—non-fiction, memoirs, self-help, fiction, classics, and workbooks—to support jail correctional programs, with a three-year initial term and two one-year renewal options. The solicitation offered a five percent preference deduction for certified Orange County Local Small Businesses or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises, capped at $100,000, and designated the resulting contract as cooperative purchasing available to other governmental entities. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase on April 2, 2026 (due April 7, 2026) for a Secure Cash Box; while tagged under this code, that procurement does not align with book or bookmark purchasing. California shows documented recent activity under the code; the Philadelphia posting suggests broader geographic spread, though the misclassification limits confidence in geographic concentration signals from this source.
