UNSPSC 60101905: Alphabet letter tiles

UNSPSC 60101905 Alphabet letter tiles is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure educational materials and supplies for classroom and therapeutic use, including manipulatives, instructional aids, sensory products, and related learning resources. Recent opportunities under this code span school districts, state agencies, and county governments soliciting pre-assembled kits, catalog discount vehicles, and line-item supply contracts for elementary education, special education, Montessori programs, and therapeutic settings. Issuing bodies include large urban school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools serving 225,000 students, Katy Independent School District in Texas), smaller independent school districts participating in cooperative purchasing consortia (Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 through the SAVE cooperative), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission on behalf of state supported living centers, Oregon Department of the State Fire Marshal). School districts dominate the recent activity, with special education and therapeutic applications appearing frequently alongside general classroom instruction materials.

The code sees activity across Florida, Texas, Arizona, Oregon, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies (due April 10, 2026); Katy Independent School District issuing RFP #2428KD-A for comprehensive teaching and instructional materials across multiple subject areas (due May 29, 2026); Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, on behalf of the SAVE cooperative, issuing RFP 260331 for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits with an estimated annual consortium usage of $1,346,000 (due June 8, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing multiple IFBs for habilitation consumables and adaptive equipment for Richmond State Supported Living Center (July and August 2026). Contracts typically run one year with renewal options, involve firm fixed pricing with markup caps or discount-percentage structures, require F.O.B. Destination delivery, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value based on price and performance. Payment terms follow state prompt-payment acts, most commonly Net 45 from invoice or delivery.
