UNSPSC 57040102: Math teaching kit

Educational materials for students transitioning into secondary school, enabling continued schooling in emergency settings. Supplies include geometry sets to support math learning.

UNSPSC 57040102 Math teaching kit is a Commodity code that describes instructional materials and supplies state and local governments procure to support K–12 mathematics instruction. The code sees most activity in school districts and special-purpose educational organizations soliciting comprehensive instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services across multiple grades and subject areas, with mathematics positioned as one component within broader curriculum procurement. Recent solicitations show districts purchasing textbooks, digital curriculum platforms, assessments, manipulatives, workbooks, teacher resources, and integrated print-and-digital instructional systems; a representative example is Katy Independent School District (Katy ISD) in Harris County, Texas, which issued RFP #2428KD-A in May 2026 for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services across multiple campuses, with a response deadline of May 29, 2026, and a contract term running through October 22, 2027, renewable annually for up to three additional years. Purchasers include large school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Amarillo ISD, Los Fresnos CISD), smaller independent school districts (Pflugerville ISD, Birdville ISD), and metropolitan districts serving tens of thousands of students; school districts in Texas dominate recent activity, though activity also appears in Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Utah, Michigan, and Oregon.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, where multiple large and mid-sized independent school districts and purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 ESC, Region I) have posted solicitations for instructional materials and curriculum supplies, often structured as catalog discount agreements or blanket purchase orders with multi-year terms. Evaluation criteria across recent RFPs emphasize best-value determination weighted toward price (ranging from 30 to 55 percent), vendor reputation and references, ability to meet delivery timelines, quality of goods, and compliance with district certifications. Contract structures vary from single-vendor awards to multi-vendor arrangements with line-item splits, and districts typically require F.O.B. destination delivery, firm fixed-price discounts from catalog or list prices, net-30 payment terms, and tax-exemption compliance. Vendors must provide W-9s, conflict-of-interest questionnaires, certificates of interested parties, background checks, and various state and federal certifications; some districts apply small or minority business enterprise preferences (evaluated at 0–5 percent weight) but do not restrict participation based on disadvantaged status.
