UNSPSC 44122023: Archboards

UNSPSC 44122023 Archboards is a Commodity code covering office and classroom supply consumables, including receipt books, envelopes, file folders, fasteners, writing instruments, markers, binders, and storage solutions that state and local education agencies purchase for routine operational inventory. School districts and cooperative purchasing organizations serving multiple school systems are the primary buyers under this code. Work solicited includes both direct procurement by individual school boards and aggregated purchasing through regional or state-wide cooperatives, which consolidate demand across multiple districts to achieve volume pricing and simplified vendor management.

Activity under the code concentrates in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Polk County Schools in Florida and the Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA) based in Georgia. The School Board of Polk County issued ITB 003RW0727 for a six-month classroom and office supplies contract with delivery to its Bartow warehouse, though that opportunity closed in July 2026. More actively, the Cooperative Purchasing Agency, a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems, posted Bid 2027-006 on August 10, 2026, with a response deadline of September 29, 2026 at 8:45 a.m.; the bid encompasses approximately 150+ line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units depending on product, pricing quoted F.O.B. destination to CPA's Cleveland, Georgia warehouse, and a contract period of January 1 through December 31, 2027. Physical samples are mandatory for most items unless the bidder proposes a currently carried or previously approved brand. CPA awards based on vendor relations, past performance, service, warranty, customer feedback, product performance, and brand changeover costs rather than price alone.
