UNSPSC 53141625: Cross stitch designs

UNSPSC 53141625 Cross stitch designs, a Commodity code, covers needlecraft materials and supplies that state and local governments procure for recreation, education, and community programming. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader category of arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies—cross stitch designs included as part of general craft inventories distributed to after-school programs, community centers, and senior services rather than as a standalone specialty item. The issuing bodies under this code are municipal parks and recreation departments, typically procuring on an as-needed basis through annual or multi-year contracts with volume commitments in the low tens of thousands of dollars annually. Vendors are expected to maintain warehouse stock, fulfill orders within ten days of receipt, and quote pricing off discounted catalog rates with all handling and delivery included.

The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFB No. 26-0014 in February 2026, seeking arts and craft supplies for its Department of Parks and Recreation on a two-year term with three one-year renewal options. The solicitation targeted multiple-vendor awards, with responses due February 25, 2026, and a virtual bid opening via Microsoft Teams scheduled the same afternoon. Annual purchasing volume across all participating divisions—After School Program, Community Schools, Seniors, Special Populations, and Recreation—was estimated at $30,000 to $50,000. The procurement shows limited geographic spread in the available record; Georgia is the only state with recent documented activity. The city reserved the right to use comparable cooperative contracts if pricing was lower, indicating flexibility in award strategy without set-aside restrictions named in the available documentation.
