UNSPSC 44122104: Paper clips

UNSPSC 44122104 Paper clips is a Commodity code covering office and school supply staples that state and local governments procure as part of larger educational and operational supply contracts. Based on recent solicitations, paper clips are purchased alongside a broad range of writing instruments, paper products, binding materials, adhesives, and classroom supplies rather than as standalone line items. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring paper clips as components of routine consumables purchasing to support instruction and school nutrition operations.

Washington County School District in Washington State and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia have both posted relevant activity in the past month. Washington County School District issued IFB 1-26060-2701 due June 22, 2026, soliciting instructional and paper supplies including paper clips alongside crayons, colored pencils, copy paper, folders, binders, and scissors for the school year. The contract term runs June 22, 2026 through January 18, 2027, with multiple awards anticipated based on cost and freight considerations. Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia issued IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, for chemical and paper products serving the School Nutrition Program across three locations, though the scope there focuses primarily on food service disposables, detergents, and cleaning supplies rather than general office staples. Both solicitations require vendor pricing to remain firm for the contract period and allow piggyback purchasing by other jurisdictions on identical terms.
