UNSPSC 55111508: Electronic charts or maps or atlases

UNSPSC 55111508 Electronic charts or maps or atlases, a Commodity code, encompasses digital educational resources, library collection materials, visitor guides, and ancillary content services that state and local governments procure for public access and curriculum support. The work being solicited ranges from open education resources and instructional materials development for K-12 systems, to library digital collections and cataloging services, to tourism publications in print and digital formats. Issuing bodies include state education agencies, school districts, public libraries, and county tourism divisions. The mix reflects education and public information mandates rather than a single buyer category, with school systems and education departments showing the strongest recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, and beyond. The Texas Education Agency posted RFP 701-26-027 in October 2026 (response due November 13, 2026) for PreK-12 open education resources content sourcing, custom instructional material development, and continuous improvement of existing OER across multiple grade levels and subjects, with a five-year initial term commencing May 2027 and a VetHUB service-disabled veteran-owned business participation goal of 5%. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida issued RFQ 19106D-EST-BJH in October 2026 for an approved vendor list for picture services across approximately 254 school sites (though the scope—senior portraits, yearbook pictures, and sports photography—falls outside the UNSPSC code's nominal scope). The City of Brownsville, Texas solicited proposals under RFP for library collection materials and services in August 2026 (response due September 15, 2026), covering library books, audiovisual materials, digital resources, and cataloging services. Collier County, Florida issued RFP 26-8664 in May 2026 for a tourism visitor guide in print and digital formats with a three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals. The code shows fragmented activity across distinct use cases rather than concentrated repeat procurement.
