UNSPSC 44122026: Paper claws

UNSPSC 44122026 Paper claws, a Commodity code, covers disposable paper products used in school nutrition programs and general office settings — including foam and clear compartmented food trays, portion cups in multiple sizes, food service films and liners, and paper-based food-service items. State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily school districts and cooperative purchasing agencies serving multiple school systems. The work involves bid solicitation and supply contracting for consumable paper goods used in cafeteria operations, classroom settings, and administrative functions, with vendors competing on price, product quality, brand preference alignment, and past performance rather than lowest price alone.

School districts across Georgia dominate recent activity under the code. The Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia posted an IFB for chemical and paper products for the School Nutrition Program (SN002-2027) with a bid due date of June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school locations and compliance with Buy American sourcing; the Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative serving 35 school systems, posted Bid 2027-006 for office and desktop supplies due September 29, 2026, encompassing approximately 150 line items including portion cups, foam trays, utensils, and storage solutions with annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units. Both solicitations require physical samples, F.O.B. destination pricing with all delivery charges included, and Net 30 payment terms; the Hancock bid specifies brand preferences for items from vendors including WNA, Banyan, Kleenline, Dart, and Clorox, while the CPA bid permits alternative brands if the vendor's proposed product is pre-approved.
