UNSPSC 44121800: Correction media

UNSPSC 44121800 Correction media is a Class code that encompasses office supplies including correction tape, correction fluid, erasers, and related products used for correcting written documents and office work. State and local governments procure these items as consumables for general office operations, classroom use, and administrative functions. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school systems and cooperative purchasing agencies serving multiple districts, which aggregate demand across member institutions to achieve volume pricing and standardized sourcing.

Correction media procurement activity centers on Georgia, where the Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative serving 35 school systems, posted an IFB for office and desktop supplies (Bid 2027-006) due September 29, 2026. The CPA solicitation encompasses approximately 150 line items of office supplies—including writing instruments, markers, fasteners, binders, and storage solutions alongside correction products—with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units depending on the product, contract term January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, and delivery expected within 30 days of purchase order issuance. Pricing must be quoted F.O.B. destination (CPA Warehouse, Cleveland, Georgia) with all delivery charges included; payment terms are Net 30 after completion of purchase orders. Physical samples are mandatory for most items unless the bidder proposes CPA's currently carried brand or a previously approved brand. Award criteria include vendor relations, past performance, service, warranty validity, customer feedback, product performance, and brand changeover costs—lowest price is not the sole criterion.
