UNSPSC 55101531: Law book

A set of rules or a book which arranges rules in a systematic manner. It is also perceived as a unified and systematic written law itself or its group.

UNSPSC 55101531 Law book is a Commodity code capturing the print book acquisitions that state and local governments, particularly public libraries and school districts, procure through competitive and sole-source solicitations. State and local buyers under this code purchase general print materials, fiction and non-fiction titles, reference materials, educational resources, and specialty publications (including audiobooks, DVDs, and CDs when bundled with library services). Many solicitations also include cataloging and processing services—MARC record creation, property labeling, barcode application, RFID tag activation, and spine labeling—as integrated offerings tied to the book supply contract.

Public library systems and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix. Recent solicitations come from the City of San Antonio Public Library (RFP for print materials, cataloging, and processing services, May 2026 response deadline), the County of Ventura Library (RFP #6247 for print materials and related services supporting thirteen library locations, April 2026 response deadline), Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas (catalog bid for library books and supplies, April 2026 response deadline), and the School Board of Seminole County, Florida (sole source for Quick Reference Guides, February 2026 response deadline). The State of Texas also issued RFP OD-441-26 for books and educational materials (May 2026 response deadline), and the City of Salem, Oregon conducted a sole source procurement for vox books from Library Ideas (April 2026). The activity is concentrated in Texas and California, with representation in Florida and Oregon. Contract values where disclosed range from $15,000 annually (Seminole County) to approximately $400,000 (Ventura County Library). Most competitive procurements seek multiple awards and do not specify set-asides or disadvantaged-business restrictions.
