UNSPSC 55111501: Electronic directories

UNSPSC 55111501 Electronic directories, a Commodity code, covers directory-like reference materials and guides that state and local governments use for public information, education content libraries, visitor marketing, and archival purposes. State and local agencies source under this code for everything from open education resource (OER) content libraries and searchable course materials, to school yearbook and portrait services, public library collection catalogs, and tourist destination guides—materials that organize, index, and present curated information in both print and digital formats for specific audiences and operational needs.

Recent opportunities span state education agencies, school districts, public library systems, and county tourism boards. The Texas Education Agency is requesting proposals under RFP 701-26-027 (response due November 13, 2026) to source, license, and develop PreK-12 OER content for social studies and custom-built instructional materials with continuous improvement services; the City of Brownsville, Texas issued an RFP (response due September 15, 2026) for library collection materials, audiovisual resources, digital materials, cataloging, and processing services; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida is building a pre-qualified vendor list through RFQ 19106D-EST-BJH for picture and yearbook services across 254 school sites; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited proposals under RFP 26-8664 (response due June 3, 2026) for design, production, and distribution of a high-end tourism visitor guide in print and digital formats. Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with educational content and library materials as primary drivers, followed by school portrait and tourism guide services. Set-aside programs appear selectively—the TEA procurement includes a 5% service-disabled veteran-owned business participation goal under the State of Texas Subcontracting Plan, while the Collier County tourism guide RFP offers local vendor preference (10 points) for vendors with current business tax receipts in Collier or Lee County.
