UNSPSC 60102614: Problem solving activity cards

UNSPSC 60102614 Problem solving activity cards (Commodity) describes educational activity cards, workbooks, and supplemental learning materials that state and local school districts acquire to support instruction across core academic subjects and specialized programs. Recent solicitations show districts and state agencies purchasing these materials as components of broader curriculum adoptions, professional development resources, and instructional support systems—not as standalone products, but integrated into multi-faceted instructional ecosystems. The Texas Education Agency, school districts in Texas, Florida, Arizona, Michigan, and Maryland, and community colleges are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code, with K-12 districts representing the bulk of activity. Work solicited includes custom-built supplemental materials aligned to state standards, quick reference guides for teacher professional learning, activity-based consumables for visual and performing arts instruction, and open educational resources (OER) development that bundle activity cards with textbooks and digital platforms. The issuing-body mix spans state education agencies, large urban school districts (Dallas, Houston, Tempe, Pinellas County), and regional school systems, with repeat solicitations from Texas entities across the Education Agency and multiple independent school districts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Arizona. The Texas Education Agency posted RFP 701-26-027 on October 14, 2026 (responses due November 13, 2026) seeking contractors to source, customize, and develop PreK-12 open educational resources including social studies content and custom-built instructional materials for Spanish language instruction in grades 6–12, with a five-year initial term and optional two-year renewal; the RFP includes a VetHUB service-disabled veteran-owned business subcontracting goal of 5 percent and requires all custom materials to be owned by TEA as works for hire. Tempe Elementary School District (Arizona) issued RFP 270532 on September 30, 2026 (responses due October 27, 2026) for a K-8 English Language Arts core curriculum adoption that includes textbooks, digital resources, and supplemental materials, with a five-year firm pricing term and possible extension for up to four additional one-year renewals; K-5 materials must appear on Arizona's Move On When Reading (MOWR) Vetted Core Program List and hold top-three-tier ESSA evidence-based ratings. Dallas Independent School District posted RFP EO250353 on July 26, 2026 (responses due August 27, 2026) for academic enrichment and visual and performing arts instructional materials, goods, and services with an aspirational 30 percent Small Business Enterprise participation goal and a three-year term with two successive one-year renewal options. The Seminole County School Board (Florida) issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on September 21, 2026 (response deadline February 23, 2026) for four Quick Reference Guide products from ISTE+ASCD covering differentiated instruction, special education, executive function, and transformational learning, with an approximate annual expenditure of $15,000. Multiple school districts across the region are actively refreshing supplemental instructional materials portfolios, suggesting sustained procurement momentum through early 2027.
