UNSPSC 44121720: Multifunction pen

A special kind of pen with multiple built-in features such as multiple ink colors, flashlight, etc.

UNSPSC 44121720 Multifunction pen is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure writing instruments and styluses for operational and electoral purposes. Recent solicitations show activity spanning both specialized voting-system styluses and general office supplies. Gwinnett County Financial Services Purchasing Division sought 250,000 disposable styluses compatible with Dominion Voting BMD touchscreen systems, specifying capacitive-touch silicone-tipped instruments with bilingual or no printing; the county's prior contract had awarded Top Choice International Trading Corp. a unit price of $0.08 per stylus. Separately, Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based nonprofit cooperative serving 35 school systems, included writing instruments as part of a broader office supplies bid covering approximately 150 line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 7,000 units depending on product. The issuing bodies span county procurement offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles anchored in school-system consortia; both seek suppliers capable of meeting tight delivery windows and all-inclusive, FOB-destination pricing.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia, where both the Gwinnett County voting-stylus procurement (due October 5, 2026, with delivery phases fixed for October 16 and October 23, 2026) and the CPA office supplies bid (bids due September 29, 2026, contract period January 1 through December 31, 2027) posted in the past two months. The Gwinnett County opportunity explicitly allows samples at bidder expense within five business days and reserves award discretion within ninety days of quote opening. CPA's bid requires physical samples for most items unless bidders propose currently carried or previously approved brands, mandates W-9 forms and references from new vendors, and uses past performance and brand changeover costs as award factors beyond price. Both solicitations enforce strict delivery timelines and require all-inclusive freight quotations; CPA additionally penalizes bidders omitting freight costs through invoice deduction.
