UNSPSC 60102805: Place value grids

UNSPSC 60102805 Place value grids — a Commodity code — encompasses instructional materials and curriculum resources that state and local school districts procure to support K-12 mathematics instruction. While the code name references a specific mathematical concept, the recent solicitations reveal that districts use this classification to tag comprehensive curriculum adoption opportunities spanning textbooks, digital platforms, assessments, and supplementary materials aligned to state standards. Issuing bodies include independent school districts of varying sizes, county school systems, and regional public education authorities. Houghton Lake Community Schools (Michigan), Katy Independent School District (Texas), Northside Independent School District (Texas), and DeKalb County School District (Georgia) appear among recent buyers. The scope of work spans student and teacher materials in print and digital formats, online assessment and data reporting tools, differentiation supports for English learners and students with disabilities, professional development, and implementation resources. School districts evaluate proposals on best-value criteria that typically weight purchase price, vendor reputation, alignment to state standards, quality, past performance, and long-term cost; some districts explicitly encourage or score participation from small business enterprises, minority-owned vendors, and women-owned vendors.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with additional procurement activity in Michigan and Florida. Representative solicitations include Houghton Lake Community Schools' RFP for grades 6-12 mathematics curriculum (response due July 28, 2026) emphasizing Savvas enVision Mathematics alignment and Michigan standards compliance; Katy ISD's supplemental RFP #2428KD-A for teaching and instructional materials across multiple subjects and grade levels (original response deadline May 29, 2026, extending through October 2027 with three optional one-year renewals); Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026-066 for districtwide curriculum and instructional supplies (response due April 30, 2026, with one-year term and extension option); and DeKalb County School District's RFQ 26-725 for K-12 Social Studies and RFQ 26-724 for K-12 Science Instructional Resources (both due March 12, 2026, with one-year initial terms and up to four one-year renewal options). Districts generally require F.O.B. Destination delivery with prepaid freight, firm pricing for contract duration, and net 30 payment terms; contracts are contingent on funding availability and board approval. No incumbent vendors or specific award values are consistently disclosed across opportunities.
