UNSPSC 60102412: Pegboards for early math

UNSPSC 60102412 Pegboards for early math, a Commodity code, describes educational manipulatives and learning aids for elementary mathematics instruction, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code diverge significantly from the code's literal scope. Rather than procurement of physical pegboards or similar concrete manipulatives, the recent solicitations show activity in comprehensive curriculum adoption, Open Educational Resources (OER) development, digital instructional content licensing, and supplemental instructional materials across multiple subject areas and grade levels. School districts, state education agencies, and higher education coordinating boards are the primary issuing bodies. State and local education procurement under this code spans K-12 core curriculum adoption (English Language Arts, mathematics, world languages), specialized populations (special education, English learners, clinical nursing assistant programs), OER content development and continuous improvement, and consumable instructional supplies across visual and performing arts. The code sees activity across Texas, Arizona, Florida, Michigan, and other states where education procurement is active.

Texas Education Agency dominates the recent posting volume, issuing three solicitations: PreK-12 OER sourcing and custom-built materials (RFP 701-26-027, responses due November 13, 2026), standardized testing materials for STAAR (SSTM0926, responses due September 1, 2026), and an OER nursing textbook expansion through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (RFP 781-6-04389, responses due February 9, 2026). School districts across the country are actively seeking comprehensive curriculum replacements with specific alignment and evidence-based requirements: Tempe Elementary School District (Arizona) sought K-8 English Language Arts core curriculum aligned to state standards and Science of Reading principles (RFP270532, responses due October 27, 2026); Houghton Lake Community Schools (Michigan) requested mathematics curriculum for grades 6-12 aligned to Michigan Math Standards and Common Core (RFP posted July 14, responses due July 28, 2026); and Gwinnett County Public Schools (Georgia) solicited digital instructional resources for middle school Spanish and high school French and German (PE77021NONST2027000000201, Participation Intent Survey due October 1, 2026). Dallas Independent School District issued a large visual and performing arts instructional materials RFP with a 30 percent Small Business Enterprise participation goal (EO250353, responses due August 27, 2026), while Katy Independent School District in Texas solicited teaching and instructional materials across multiple subjects through an open-ended supplemental vehicle (RFP 2428KD-A, responses due May 29, 2026). Pinellas County Schools (Florida) solicited sealed bids for unspecified instructional services (25JB083, bid deadline February 16, 2026), and Seminole County Schools (Florida) issued a sole-source notice for ISTE+ASCD Quick Reference Guides (25260086SVG, response deadline February 23, 2026) with an approximate annual expenditure of $15,000. The code shows no strong geographic concentration; recent activity spans at least six states with Texas and Florida showing multiple recent postings.
