UNSPSC 44122031: Side rails for hanging folder frame

Steel hanging folder drawer frames with replacement side rails.

UNSPSC 44122031 Side rails for hanging folder frame (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of filing and storage hardware that state and local governments procure as part of larger office supplies portfolios rather than as standalone line items. The recent opportunities posted under this code show that actual buying encompasses broader office and classroom supplies categories — file folders with side tabs, binders, fasteners, and related filing materials — rather than isolated rail components. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include regional educational service agencies, school districts, cooperative purchasing organizations serving multiple school systems, and county governments. Griffin RESA, a seven-county educational cooperative in south metro Georgia, Gwinnett County Financial Services, Pinellas County School District, and Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems, all posted opportunities in the past four months that incorporate file folders and filing supplies into their procurement scope.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. Griffin RESA posted an IFB for art materials, office supplies, copy paper, ink and toner, and janitorial products with bids due November 6, 2026; Gwinnett County requested quotes for custom pre-numbered letter-size manila file folders with side tabs and mylar-reinforced labels on an annual contract with four renewal options, with quotes due July 31, 2026; CPA solicited bids on approximately 150+ line items of office supplies including file folders and storage solutions, with bids due September 29, 2026; and Pinellas County School District issued an ITB for classroom and office supplies encompassing file folders among 104 line items, with an approximate contract value of $330,000 annually and electronic bids due April 30, 2026. The code shows modest recent activity and appears underutilized as a standalone procurement category — the vast majority of filing hardware and folders are bought as components of larger cooperative or district-wide supplies contracts rather than as individual commodity purchases.
