UNSPSC 44122120: Binder posts

UNSPSC 44122120 Binder posts is a Commodity code tracking office binding and fastening supplies that state and local governments procure for administrative and classroom use. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects broader office-supply procurement by educational cooperatives and school systems, which purchase binder posts as part of standardized office-supply line items alongside related consumables such as fasteners, file folders, envelopes, and storage solutions. The buying pattern shows binder posts moving through cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than direct institutional buys, with estimated annual quantities typically ranging from dozens to hundreds of units depending on the school system's size and consumption patterns.

The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems, posted Bid 2027-006 for office and desktop supplies on August 10, 2026, with responses due September 29, 2026 at 8:45 a.m. The bid encompasses approximately 150+ line items including binder posts, with delivery to CPA Warehouse in Cleveland, Georgia on an F.O.B. destination basis and contract performance through December 31, 2027. Bidders must submit physical samples for most items unless proposing an already-approved brand, with award criteria including vendor relations, past performance, service, warranty validity, and customer feedback — lowest price alone does not determine selection. Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia through the CPA cooperative model, which aggregates demand across multiple school districts to achieve scale in office-supply procurement.
