UNSPSC 44122014: Sheet lifters

UNSPSC 44122014 Sheet lifters is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The Pinellas County School District's ITB for classroom and office supplies (Solicitation 26HO014, due April 30, 2026) encompasses 104 line items including chart pads, composition books, file folders, binders, markers, pens, pencils, rulers, staplers, and tape dispensers — consumable office and classroom supplies with no mention of sheet lifters or lifting equipment. The scope of work reflects routine educational supply procurement delivered to a centralized warehouse in Largo, Florida, with an approximate annual contract value of $330,000. Bidders must meet standard school district compliance requirements including E-Verify verification, background screening under the Jessica Lunsford Act, and insurance minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The single posted opportunity is an ITB from a school district in Florida, with no additional state or local jurisdictions represented in the current record. Pinellas County Schools will evaluate bids between April 30 and May 20, 2026, post a Notice of Intent to Award on or about June 2, 2026, and obtain School Board approval estimated for June 9, 2026. The contract period runs from June 10, 2026, through June 9, 2027, with unilateral extension rights for up to three additional 30-day periods and optional renewal for two additional one-year periods at adjusted CPI-U rates. The District reserves the right to award by line item, section, or aggregate total and applies a 5 percent preference to Florida businesses when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preferences. The mismatch between the code name (sheet lifters) and the actual procurement (classroom and office supplies) suggests a tagging error; prospective vendors should verify code assignment before bid submission.
