UNSPSC 44122037: Ring binder

A loose-leaf binder in which the sheets are held in place by two or more rings that can be made to snap open.

UNSPSC 44122037 Ring binder, a Commodity code, covers office-supply ring binders solicited by school districts and cooperative purchasing organizations serving education systems. State and local procurement under this code reflects ongoing classroom and administrative supply needs — ring binders are bid alongside notebooks, file folders, composition books, and related binding materials as part of broader annual or multi-year office-supply contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and cooperative purchasing agencies that aggregate demand across multiple member districts. Recent solicitations show that districts specify exact brands and product lines acceptable in bids (no substitutions or equivalents permitted), require FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid and included in the bid price, and impose strict unit-of-measure and pricing-format requirements (dollars and cents to two decimal places). Vendors must maintain standard inventory throughout the contract term and cannot source from closeout, surplus, or liquidation channels. Pricing guarantees typically span six months from award, and contracts commonly run one calendar year or through mid-year cutoffs aligned with school fiscal cycles.

Recent activity clusters in school districts across Utah, Georgia, and Washington state. Jordan School District (Utah) issued IFB 27BV17 on September 4, 2026, for binders, notebooks, and pads to supply its Central Warehouse, with bids due September 14, 2026 and a contract term running through September 30, 2027. Cooperative Purchasing Agency, a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems, issued Bid 2027-006 on August 10, 2026, covering approximately 150+ line items of office supplies including binders with response due September 29, 2026. Washington County School District (Washington state) issued IFB WCSDSG002 on May 28, 2026, for instructional and paper supplies including binders, with bids due June 22, 2026 and multiple contract awards anticipated. All three solicitations require physical samples or brand conformance, guaranteed pricing periods, and FOB Destination freight terms.
