UNSPSC 55101502: Directories

UNSPSC 55101502 Directories, a Commodity code, covers directories and directory-like reference materials that state and local governments procure for staff training, student learning, and operational guidance. The recent solicitations show school districts, educational service centers, and state health agencies acquiring Quick Reference Guides on professional topics, guides to emergency preparedness, curriculum directories, and visitor guides—materials that organize information for internal or external use rather than traditional phone or business directories. State and local issuers procuring under this code include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Seminole County Schools, Ocean Springs School District, Battle Creek Public Schools), state health and education agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Education Agency, Illinois State Board of Education), counties (Collier County, Washington County Oregon), cities (Santa Fe, Brownsville, Philadelphia, San Antonio), and special-purpose districts. Hillsborough County Public Schools appears most frequently as a repeat buyer of single-source instructional directories and curriculum support materials across multiple 2026 postings.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Michigan, and Oregon. Hillsborough County Public Schools has issued multiple sole-source notices for educational directories and curriculum materials, including Quick Reference Guides for professional learning (Seminole County Schools, approximately $15,000 annual expenditure), emergency preparedness directories (Texas HHS, responses due April 15, 2026 for padded vinyl folders with custom information cards and 642 units), and instructional material compilations. Representative recent opportunities include the Seminole County Schools Notice of Intent to Sole Source four ISTE+ASCD Quick Reference Guides (response deadline February 23, 2026, approximately $15,000 annual spend), the Texas HHS IFB for Guide to Emergency Preparedness directories with vinyl folders and custom cards (642 units, responses due April 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Transportation micro-purchase for AASHTO books and booklets (responses due July 2 and July 6, 2026). Opportunities are typically sole-source or restricted competitive procurements targeting proprietary or curriculum-specific materials; few open competitive tenders appear in the recent block. The code shows moderate, recurring activity among school district procurement offices and state education and health agencies, with concentrated spending on professional development resources and educational reference materials rather than traditional printed directories.
