UNSPSC 44122024: Binder handles

UNSPSC 44122024 Binder handles (Commodity) covers the procurement of binder handles and related binding fasteners used in office environments. State and local governments buy binder handles as part of broader office-supply packages for administrative, instructional, and general workplace use. The code appears primarily in cooperative purchasing vehicles and school district procurement, where binder handles are bundled with file folders, fasteners, and other desktop supplies into consolidated bids rather than sourced individually.

The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative serving 35 school systems, posted Bid 2027-006 for office and desktop supplies on August 10, 2026, with a response deadline of September 29, 2026 at 8:45 a.m. The bid encompasses approximately 150+ line items including binder handles, file folders, fasteners, writing instruments, and storage solutions, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units by product. Physical samples are mandatory for most items unless the vendor proposes CPA's currently carried brand or a previously approved alternative; all pricing must be quoted F.O.B. destination to CPA Warehouse in Cleveland, Georgia, with delivery expected within 30 days of purchase order issuance. Award is not based on lowest price alone — CPA evaluates vendor relations, past performance, service, warranty validity, customer feedback, product performance, and brand changeover costs. New vendors must submit W-9 forms and three references; bids are accepted electronically at bids@cpa4schools.com or by USPS mail to PO Box 217, Cleveland, Georgia 30528.
