UNSPSC 60101731: Sentence strips or rolls

UNSPSC 60101731 Sentence strips or rolls is a Commodity code that state and local education agencies use to procure instructional materials, educational content, and curriculum resources—including textbooks, digital core curricula, supplemental learning materials, quick-reference guides, and open educational resources across K-12 and higher education settings. The code applies broadly to the full spectrum of teaching materials that districts and state education agencies source, develop, customize, or license for classroom use. Issuing bodies span school districts of varying size (Katy ISD in Texas, Tempe Elementary School District in Arizona, Houghton Lake Community Schools in Michigan), county-level school systems (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia, Dallas Independent School District in Texas), state education agencies (Texas Education Agency, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board), and specialized state higher-education institutions (Texas Southern University). The mix reflects both large urban districts and smaller regional systems pursuing curriculum adoption cycles and instructional material refreshes.
