UNSPSC 60102402: Activity or resource books for working with early math manipulatives

UNSPSC 60102402 Activity or resource books for working with early math manipulatives is a Commodity code that captures educational materials and instructional resources designed to support early mathematics instruction through hands-on manipulatives and related activity guides. State and local governments buy curriculum-aligned textbooks, activity books, instructional guides, and supplementary materials bundled with manipulatives such as letter cards, word-building tiles, and phoneme-blending tools to support K-3 literacy and early math instruction. The recent posting activity reveals that school districts are the primary buyers under this code, soliciting district-wide textbook and instructional material packages that typically bundle print resources with digital components, professional development services, and hands-on learning materials aligned to evidence-based instructional frameworks.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. Chippewa Valley Schools in Michigan posted an ITB for district-wide textbook purchases due June 24, 2026, requesting 2,651 line items across multiple subject areas including Connecting Math Concepts and Reading Mastery for 18 school buildings. The Kentucky Department of Education issued RFP 540 2600000225 due March 2, 2026, seeking a vendor to design and deliver a comprehensive early literacy resource package for families under Kentucky's Read to Succeed Act, including decodable texts, knowledge-building books, and manipulatives aligned to the science of reading framework for K-3 students in English and Spanish. DeKalb County School District in Georgia posted RFQ 26-724 due March 12, 2026, for comprehensive K-12 Science Instructional Resources serving 93,000 students across 139 schools. The Ventura County Library system in California issued RFP #6247 due April 18, 2026, for public library print materials and related services; however, this solicitation falls outside the early math manipulatives scope. A January 2026 posting by Sangamon County for an ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code manual is similarly unrelated to the code's nominal scope, signaling potential misclassification in the source data.
