About UNSPSC 44121700
UNSPSC 44121700 Writing instruments is a Class code covering pens, pencils, markers, styluses, and related writing tools that state and local governments procure for administrative, educational, and specialized operational use. Recent solicitations show two distinct procurement patterns: routine office supply purchases bundled with other desktop items, and specialized single-use instruments engineered for specific applications such as voting systems. State and local issuing bodies under this code include county purchasing divisions, school district cooperative purchasing agencies, and special-purpose purchasing consortia. The scope spans commodity writing instruments (ballpoint pens, markers, pencils) acquired through standard office-supply contracts, and purpose-built disposable styluses with exacting technical and branding specifications for voting infrastructure or touch-interface systems. Pricing under recent awards ranges from $0.08 per unit for high-volume specialized styluses to broader per-item pricing embedded in multi-line office-supply contracts.
Georgia dominates the recent activity block, with Gwinnett County Financial Services soliciting 250,000 disposable styluses compatible with Dominion Voting BMD touchscreen systems under IWQ 139434 (RFQ, due October 5, 2026 at 12:00 P.M.), and the Cooperative Purchasing Agency—a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems—soliciting approximately 150+ line items of office and desktop supplies including writing instruments under Bid 2027-006 (IFB, due September 29, 2026 at 8:45 a.m.). The Gwinnett solicitation awarded a prior contract to Top Choice International Trading Corp. at $0.08 per unit for a total value of $80,160, with delivery split into two phases (100,000 units by October 16, 2026, and 150,000 units by October 23, 2026) and styluses requiring bilingual printing or no printing at all. The CPA cooperative contract runs through December 31, 2027, with anticipated delivery within 30 days of purchase order issuance and payment terms of Net 30; awards are made based on vendor relations, past performance, service, and warranty validity rather than lowest price alone.
