UNSPSC 44122029: Classification folder

A kind of folder thicker than a normal one because of its dividers that permit separation of documents by function or subject. May also contain pocket dividers.

UNSPSC 44122029 Classified Folder/Binding Supplies, a Commodity code, encompasses office supply stock items that state and local governments procure in recurring quantities — primarily folders, binders, and related organizational supplies. Recent opportunities show school districts dominating the code's activity, with classroom and office supplies representing the core procurement stream. The Pinellas County School District's ITB for 104 line items (36 classroom paper supplies including folders, chart pads, and envelopes; 68 office items including binders, markers, pens, and staplers) and the Polk County School Board's six-month contract for similar stock supplies including binders, index cards, and clipboards exemplify the repetitive, high-volume purchasing pattern. Cook County Government's IFB for printing and delivery of court diversion envelopes — up to 1,050,000 units over three years — shows that the code also captures specialized printed folder production for judicial and administrative operations. Municipal procurement departments also use the code, as evidenced by the City of Philadelphia's RFQ for Kraft Case Folders with inside delivery, though less frequently than school systems.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Illinois, with the Pinellas and Polk County school districts posting in June and February 2026 respectively, and Cook County's three-year envelope contract solicitation posted in January 2026 with a February 11, 2026 response date. The Pinellas County opportunity carries an approximate annual contract value of $330,000, while the Polk County procurement reflects historical spending of approximately $88,000 over six months. Pinellas requires 10 calendar-day delivery to its warehouse and uses electronic bidding via OpenGov Procurement; Polk County uses VendorLink for electronic submission and mandates E-Verify compliance and foreign-country-of-concern certification. Both Florida school districts extend preference to in-state suppliers and maintain standard insurance and background-screening requirements. Cook County's envelope contract includes mandatory 4 percent MBE and 8 percent WBE participation goals, prevailing wage compliance, and living wage requirements, reflecting municipal procurement complexity beyond school-district patterns.
