UNSPSC 60101102: Curriculum based electronic learning aids

UNSPSC 60101102 Curriculum based electronic learning aids is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of digital and print instructional materials, curricula, and educational resources aligned to academic standards. Recent solicitations show school districts acquiring comprehensive core and supplemental curriculum solutions in ELA, mathematics, science, social studies, and specialized areas such as nursing, autism intervention, and world languages, typically bundled with digital platforms, teacher editions, assessments, and professional development services. Open Education Resources (OER) procurement has emerged as a distinct category, with states and districts soliciting custom development, licensing, and continuous improvement of openly licensed instructional materials to reduce student costs.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies, with school districts as the primary procurement driver. The Texas Education Agency issued RFP 701-26-027 in October 2026 seeking PreK-12 OER sourcing, custom development, and continuous improvement across social studies and other subjects, due November 13, 2026, with a 5% service-disabled veteran-owned business participation goal. Tempe Elementary School District (Arizona) posted RFP 270532 for K-8 English Language Arts core curriculum adoption, due October 27, 2026, requiring MOWR Vetted Core Program List eligibility for K-5 materials and ESSA evidence-based top-tier ratings. Clark County School District (Nevada) has issued three concurrent RFPs for high school science textbooks—Physics (27001BJN), Chemistry (27003LMK), and Geoscience (27002JBD)—all due May 28, 2026, with seven-year adoption contracts and NGSS alignment requirements. Provo City School District (Utah) solicited social studies curriculum adoption across grades 4-12 (RFP PCSD10072026, due October 7, 2026) with Mountain State Schoolbook Depository as mandatory distribution channel. Katy Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 2428KD-A for broad teaching and instructional materials across multiple subject areas, and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP EO250353 for visual and performing arts instructional materials with a 30% SBE aspiration goal and three-year term with two one-year renewal options. The Texas Education Agency and Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE MPA 636) both operate standing framework agreements for curriculum materials, with RIDE's social studies MPA 636 offering three-year initial terms plus one renewal and requiring MBE participation. Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and Florida, with secondary activity in Rhode Island, Michigan, and Maryland. Many jurisdictions require compliance with state-level standards (Utah Core, Arizona ELA Standards, NGSS, TEKS), digital infrastructure integration (Canvas, Clever, Infinite Campus), accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA, FERPA), and evaluation alignment to third-party rubrics or EdReports assessments. Contract terms typically span three to seven years with optional renewals, and most solicitations require F.O.B. Destination pricing with shipping included and require vendors to demonstrate lowest pricing under most-favored-nations clauses.
