UNSPSC 60102507: Number desk tapes

UNSPSC 60102507 Number desk tapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with adhesive desk tapes or similar office supplies. Instead, the solicitations reflect educational content development, curriculum adoption, instructional materials procurement, and related teaching services spanning K-12 districts, higher education systems, and state education agencies. The actual buying activity under this code designation includes open educational resources development (Texas Education Agency seeking PreK-12 OER sourcing, custom builds, and continuous improvement), comprehensive ELA curriculum adoption (Tempe Elementary School District for grades K-8), instructional materials for specialized programs (Wicomico County seeking Clinical Nursing Assistant textbooks and digital resources), and statewide framework agreements for educational content (Texas SMART Buy establishing an indefinite-delivery vehicle for books and educational materials). Issuing bodies span state education agencies, independent school districts of varying size, and county school systems across Texas, Arizona, Florida, Michigan, and Maryland, with Texas Education Agency and multiple Texas school districts (Katy ISD, Dallas ISD, Gwinnett County Public Schools) appearing repeatedly in recent postings.

The geographic concentration tilts heavily toward Texas, with the Texas Education Agency, Katy ISD, Dallas ISD, and the SMART Buy statewide program representing the bulk of recent activity, supplemented by solicitations from Arizona (Tempe Elementary), Florida (Seminole County Schools, Pinellas County Schools), Maryland (Wicomico County), Michigan (Houghton Lake Community Schools), and Georgia (Gwinnett County). Representative opportunities include the Texas Education Agency's RFP 701-26-027 (posted October 14, 2026; due November 13, 2026) for PreK-12 OER sourcing, custom content development, and continuous improvement across multiple grade levels and subjects; Tempe Elementary School District's RFP 270532 (posted September 30, 2026; due October 27, 2026) for K-8 ELA core curriculum adoption with mandatory Arizona Department of Education vetting; Dallas ISD's RFP for Academic Enrichment and Support and Visual and Performing Arts instructional materials (posted July 26, 2026; due August 27, 2026) with a 30 percent SBE participation goal; and Texas SMART Buy's statewide framework RFP 260904 (posted September 3, 2026; due October 16, 2026) for books, library materials, and educational materials through the TIPS-USA cooperative procurement vehicle. The code shows substantial procurement volume but carries significant taxonomy mismatch with its nominal commodity definition.
