UNSPSC 44122103: Clasp fasteners

UNSPSC 44122103 Clasp fasteners is a Commodity code that in state and local practice encompasses fasteners as part of broader office supply and facility maintenance procurement bundles. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers—particularly school districts and cooperative purchasing organizations serving education—source clasp fasteners alongside envelopes, file folders, binders, and other office supplies, or as components within food service and janitorial product packages. The code reflects a narrow commodity line within larger, heterogeneous purchasing events rather than standalone fastener procurements.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school systems and education-focused cooperative purchasing agencies. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative serving 35 school systems, posted Bid 2027-006 for approximately 150+ line items of office and desktop supplies in August 2026, with response due September 29, 2026—a cooperative vehicle model that multiplies purchasing reach across member school systems. The Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia issued IFB SN002-2027 for School Nutrition chemical and paper products in June 2026 with response due June 26, 2026, covering portion cups, food service trays, utensils, and cleaning supplies across three school locations. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, with both recent opportunities originating from school district and cooperative purchasing infrastructure. Vendors pursuing this code should expect participation in multi-item school supply and facility maintenance bids rather than dedicated fastener solicitations, and should prepare to submit samples, references, and compliance documentation (W-9s, insurance verification, Buy American certification where required) as part of cooperative or district competitive bidding cycles.
