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 is a Commodity code that covers binding and fastening products purchased by state and local governments for office, administrative, and instructional use. State and local procurement under this code focuses on straightforward ring binders and related binding supplies — products typically bundled within broader educational or general office supply aggregations rather than procured standalone. Washington County School District, for instance, solicited ring binders as one line item within a comprehensive instructional and paper supplies IFB in May 2026, alongside folders, clips, adhesives, copy paper, writing instruments, and classroom consumables. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix for this code, reflecting the heavy use of binders in K–12 instructional and administrative workflows. Counties and municipalities occasionally solicit binders as part of general office supply contracts, but educational buyers drive the bulk of recent activity.

Geographic concentration is limited; the most recent visible activity centers on Washington County (state unspecified in the source) and Utah. Washington County School District's mid-year instructional and paper supplies IFB, due June 22, 2026, included ring binders as a component within a seven-month contract term running through January 18, 2027, with vendors required to guarantee pricing across the full term and multiple awards anticipated based on cost and freight analysis. No other recent opportunities tagged to this code appear in the source material, and the single school district solicitation that mentions the product treats it as an ancillary item within a much larger supplies aggregation rather than as a standalone procurement focus. Activity under the code is modest and episodic, concentrated in school district budget cycles for consolidated instructional supply purchases.
