UNSPSC 60102506: Subtraction activity or resource books

UNSPSC 60102506 Subtraction activity or resource books, a Commodity code, covers printed educational materials and workbooks that state and local governments—primarily school districts and corrections departments—procure to support reading instruction, skill development, and classroom instruction. Recent solicitations show the code captures textbook adoption, decodable reading books, skill-building workbooks covering mathematics and vocabulary, and quick-reference guides aligned with literacy frameworks such as the Science of Reading. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly independent school districts and state education departments, with occasional activity from state corrections agencies procuring materials for adult education programs.

School districts in Michigan, Florida, Illinois, and Kentucky account for the most recent activity under the code. Chippewa Valley Schools (Michigan) issued an ITB for district-wide textbook adoption covering 18 buildings and 2,651 line items with bids due June 24, 2026. The School Board of Seminole County (Florida) posted a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for four Quick Reference Guide products from ISTE+ASCD, with a response deadline of February 23, 2026 and an approximate annual expenditure of $15,000. The Kentucky Department of Education released RFP 540 2700000005 (a rebid of an earlier RFP that closed without award in March 2026) for design, production, packaging, and distribution of coordinated Family Literacy Resource Solutions serving approximately 200,000 students in grades K–3 statewide, with proposals due August 27, 2026. The Illinois Department of Corrections solicited a Basic Ordering Agreement for approximately 708 units of educational textbooks and workbooks across 15 titles, with delivery due September 30, 2026 and contract value under $50,000.
