UNSPSC 60101719: Pocket charts

UNSPSC 60101719 Pocket charts is a Commodity code that covers classroom storage and organizational supplies—specifically wall-mounted chart organizers and similar visual-display accessories used in K–12 instructional settings. State and local governments procure pocket charts primarily through school districts and educational cooperatives as part of broader classroom-supply sourcing, often bundled into larger furniture and supplies catalogs rather than as standalone items. The code sits within a purchasing ecosystem where classroom supplies are frequently aggregated into cooperative-purchasing vehicles that serve multiple districts simultaneously, reducing procurement overhead and leveraging volume discounts across member jurisdictions.

The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, based in Kilgore, Texas, issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on June 23, 2026, for a Catalog Discount Bid on Classroom Furniture & Supplies (CLSF2628) with a response deadline of May 26, 2026, and an estimated total expenditure of $21,568,516.00 over a two-year contract term (June 18, 2026, through June 18, 2028). This procurement uses a catalog discount model where vendors provide pricing as percentage discounts rather than fixed costs, with evaluation criteria including depth of discounts, net payment terms, free-shipping availability, and purchase-order flexibility. The cooperative has awarded 62 vendors previously under the same bid category, indicating an established and diversified vendor base. The notice does not identify specific incumbent vendors or geographic restrictions on the member school districts, though the cooperative's Texas location suggests primary activity in that region.
