UNSPSC 44121628: Clip holders or dispensers

UNSPSC 44121628 Clip holders or dispensers is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement reflects a much broader scope than the nominal category name suggests. The Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia issued an IFB in June 2026 for school nutrition chemical and paper products that demonstrates what state and local entities actually buy under this code: disposable food service items including portion cups in multiple sizes, foam and compartmented trays, utensils, food service films and liners, detergents, trash can liners, oven mittens, and mop heads. The purchasing driver is operational supply for school nutrition programs across multiple locations serving students and staff. School districts emerge as the primary issuing bodies under this code, purchasing consumable goods needed for daily meal preparation and sanitation.

The recent activity centers on the Southeast, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posting the identified opportunity. The Hancock County IFB, due June 26, 2026, covers supplies for three school locations (Hancock Central Middle/High School, M.E. Lewis Elementary, and Early Head Start) under a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. The solicitation permits piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms, signaling cooperative purchasing potential across the region. Vendors must meet Buy American sourcing compliance, provide general liability insurance ($500,000 minimum, $1,000,000 aggregate), and submit questions by June 16, 2026. Brand preferences favor WNA, Banyan, Kleenline, Dart, and Clorox products. Pricing must include packing and transportation to designated school sites, and bids remain firm for the full contract period with allowance for escalation or de-escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
