UNSPSC 44122118: Prong fasteners

UNSPSC 44122118 Prong fasteners is a Commodity code that state and local governments source as part of broader office-supply and food-service procurement bundles rather than as standalone line items. In the recent activity captured, prong fasteners appear as one component among 150+ office-supply items in a Georgia cooperative purchasing vehicle bid and as part of food-service disposables in a school nutrition IFB, indicating that fasteners are routinely bundled with related consumables—writing instruments, folders, binders, trays, utensils, and cleaning supplies—rather than purchased in isolation. The issuing bodies are primarily school systems and cooperative purchasing agencies; the Hancock County Board of Education and the Cooperative Purchasing Agency (a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems) both issued recent solicitations that incorporated fasteners within their scope.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, with the Cooperative Purchasing Agency's 2027-006 Office Supplies Bid due September 29, 2026 (RFQ format, estimated 150+ line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 7,000 units) and the Hancock County Board of Education's School Nutrition Chemical & Paper Bid due June 26, 2026 (IFB format, covering three school locations through June 30, 2027). Neither solicitation isolated prong fasteners as a distinct procurement category or identified a significant dollar commitment to the commodity alone. The code shows minimal direct procurement signal; state and local buyers appear to treat fasteners as incidental items within larger consumables contracts managed through cooperative purchasing vehicles and school nutrition programs rather than as a category driving independent vendor interest or competitive bidding activity.
