UNSPSC 44122106: Pins or tacks

UNSPSC 44122106 Pins or tacks, a Commodity code, covers fastening supplies and organizational materials that state and local governments procure as part of broader office and classroom supply contracts. Recent solicitations show this code tags purchases alongside related supplies such as paper products, writing instruments, markers, binders, file folders, and tape — suggesting state and local buyers classify pins and tacks as components of general-purpose supply bundles rather than standalone procurement lines. The issuing bodies include school districts and county governments soliciting multi-item term contracts on an as-needed basis, with evaluation criteria focused on product quality, packaging standards, inventory availability, and delivery performance.

Two recent opportunities illustrate current buying patterns. The School Board of Marion County, Florida posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB #4151AM) in February 2026 for a ten-month term contract covering 194 line items of classroom and office supplies, with proposals due January 14, 2026, and performance running March 1 through December 31, 2026; estimated quantities for individual items ranged from 20 to 30,000 units. Bernalillo County, New Mexico, issued a Request for Bids (RFB 34-26) in February 2026 for comprehensive office supplies across 135 delivery locations to 40 county departments on an indefinite-quantity basis with an estimated annual spend of approximately $316,000; the bid was due February 20, 2026, and requires a five-year contract term with renewal option. Both solicitations emphasize next-day or two-day delivery, firm fixed pricing, electronic catalog integration, and significant inventory depth. Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Southeast, though the sparse recent-opportunities block does not support wider geographic characterization.
