UNSPSC 44122012: Clipboards

UNSPSC 44122012 Clipboards is a Commodity code covering office and classroom supply items, including clipboards and related writing surfaces, that state and local governments procure as part of bulk stationery and supplies contracts. The work involves furnishing standardized office and classroom items—typically in modest unit quantities per SKU but spanning dozens of product lines in a single solicitation—to school districts, government offices, and administrative facilities. State and local bodies issue these solicitations as IFB or sealed-bid notices, often bundling clipboards with related supplies such as binders, file folders, pencils, post-it notes, and tape into single procurement vehicles to consolidate administrative overhead and achieve volume pricing. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county government purchasing offices.

The School Board of Polk County, Florida, posted sealed bid 029RW0126 on February 2, 2026, seeking classroom and office supplies including clipboards for delivery to their Bartow warehouse under a six-month contract running February 1 through July 31, 2026. The IFB specified estimated clipboard quantities of 105 to 12,535 units depending on item type, with an anticipated total bid value of approximately $88,000 across all supplies in the lot. Sealed bids were due electronically through VendorLink by 3:00 PM on January 8, 2026, with bid award recommendation and Superintendent approval targeted for mid-to-late January 2026. The procurement required bidder compliance with an Affidavit Regarding Foreign Countries of Concern and E-Verify employment eligibility verification, and permitted no product substitutions except for manufacturer discontinuation. Pricing was required to remain firm for the contract duration and include freight and handling charges. No other recent state or local clipboard solicitations are present in the source.
