UNSPSC 44122017: Hanging folders or accessories

UNSPSC 44122017 Hanging folders or accessories (Commodity) covers file folders, file folder accessories, and related storage and organizational materials that state and local governments procure for classroom, office, and administrative use. Recent solicitations show schools and educational service agencies buying custom manila file folders with pre-numbering and color-coding, letter-size and expandable folders for court and administrative use, standard manila folders in bulk quantities, and folder accessories including labels, tabs, fasteners, and mylar reinforcements. The issuing bodies include school districts, regional educational service agencies, county governments, and cooperative purchasing organizations serving multiple school systems. A representative solicitation is the Gwinnett County Financial Services Purchasing Division's RFQ for custom pre-numbered letter-size manila file folders with side tabs and mylar-reinforced labels across seventeen distinct series for the Clerk of Court and Probate Court, with annual quantities ranging from 50 to 69,000 units per series and a four-renewal-option annual contract awarded to the lowest responsive bidder; another is the Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative serving 35 school systems, soliciting office supplies including file folders and storage solutions under Bid 2027-006 with approximately 150+ line items and estimated annual quantities from 1 to 7,000 units, with physical samples mandatory unless the vendor proposes CPA's currently carried or previously approved brand and evaluation based on vendor relations, past performance, service, warranty validity, customer feedback, and product performance rather than price alone.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with the strongest density in Georgia through educational service agencies, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and county procurement offices. The Georgia opportunities include Griffin RESA's IFB 2027 for office supplies, filing materials, and related items across seven south metro Georgia counties (Butts, Fayette, Henry, Lamar, Newton, Pike, Spalding, and Upson) with bids due November 6, 2026; the CPA Bid 2027-006 with bids due September 29, 2026; and Gwinnett County's RFQ with quotes due July 31, 2026. In Florida, the Pinellas County School District posted an ITB for classroom and office supplies including file folders with bids due April 30, 2026 and an approximate annual contract value of $330,000. Additional activity appears in Orange County, California (Sheriff-Coroner IFB 060-3015801-MB for file folders and labels with a three-year term and two optional renewal years) and Washington County School District (state not specified in source).
