UNSPSC 55121619: Non adhesive labels

UNSPSC 55121619 Non adhesive labels, a Commodity code, covers the supply of labels used in educational and office settings — including file folder labels, index card labels, and classroom labeling supplies — that state and local governments procure as part of broader classroom and office supply bundles. School districts and cooperative purchasing organizations serving multiple school systems are the primary buyers under this code. The work is narrowly defined within larger office supply contracts rather than standalone label procurement; labels appear as line items within comprehensive classroom and office supply solicitations that include paper products, writing instruments, binders, and storage solutions. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and cooperative purchasing agencies that aggregate demand across multiple educational institutions to achieve volume pricing and simplified vendor management.

Pinellas County Schools in Florida and the Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit serving 35 school systems, represent the most active recent buyers. Pinellas County Schools issued an ITB (Solicitation 26HO014) for classroom and office supplies with a contract value of approximately $330,000 annually and a response deadline of April 30, 2026; the scope includes 36 classroom paper supply line items and 68 office supply items, with labels explicitly mentioned within the classroom paper category. CPA issued a bid (PE55964NONST2027000000045) for office and desktop supplies with approximately 150+ line items and a response deadline of September 29, 2026, covering the contract period January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, with mandatory physical samples for most items unless previously approved brands are proposed. Recent activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with school district procurement offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles driving the solicitation pace. Florida businesses receive a 5 percent preference in Pinellas County Schools bids when competing against out-of-state suppliers from states that do not reciprocate preferences.
