UNSPSC 44122105: Binder or bulldog clips

UNSPSC 44122105 Binder or bulldog clips is a Commodity code representing fastening supplies that state and local governments procure as components of broader office supply and school nutrition operations. Recent solicitations show binder clips purchased alongside file folders, writing instruments, envelopes, and other desktop supplies for classroom and administrative use, as well as alongside food service disposables and cleaning products for school cafeteria operations. The code sees demand primarily from school districts and cooperative purchasing organizations serving educational institutions, where clips support document organization in classrooms, offices, and food-service administrative functions.

School districts and cooperative purchasing agencies dominate recent activity under the code. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems, solicited binder clips as part of its 2027-006 Office Supplies Bid (IFB, due September 29, 2026), which encompassed approximately 150+ line items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units depending on product. The Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia issued a separate School Nutrition Chemical & Paper Bid (IFB, due June 26, 2026) that included fasteners alongside food service items and cleaning supplies. Georgia shows the most recent documented activity under this code. Pricing across these solicitations flows F.O.B. destination with delivery included; CPA requires physical samples for most items unless vendors propose currently carried or previously approved brands, and awards based on vendor relations, past performance, service, and brand changeover costs rather than price alone.
