UNSPSC 60102806: Place value games or activity sets

UNSPSC 60102806 Place value games or activity sets is a Commodity code that state and local school districts soliciting under it are actually buying as curriculum materials and instructional supplies—primarily mathematics, science, and social studies textbooks; digital learning platforms; professional development resources; and specialized instructional equipment spanning elementary through high school. The code sits at the intersection of broader instructional procurement: while the nominal scope is place-value pedagogy materials, recent opportunities show districts tagging comprehensive K-12 curriculum adoption solicitations, CTE (career technical education) resources, intervention and differentiation supports, and technology-enabled learning platforms under this code. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—independent school districts in Texas (Houghton Lake Community Schools in Michigan, Katy ISD, Klein ISD, Northside ISD, and Dallas ISD), Georgia districts (DeKalb County, Henry County, Gallup-McKinley County), Florida districts (Pinellas County, Seminole County), and Mississippi's Madison County School District all posted opportunities recently. A few higher-education institutions appear (Texas Southern University, Georgia Southern University, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board), though the bulk of activity remains K-12. Evaluation typically weights vendor reputation, past district relationships, alignment to state standards (Michigan, Georgia, New Mexico, Texas all named), and total cost of ownership over time; HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) and SBE (Small Business Enterprise) participation factors into scoring in Texas and Georgia jurisdictions, and many solicitations require three vendor references demonstrating similar experience.

Geographic concentration sits heavily in Texas (Katy ISD, Klein ISD, Northside ISD, Dallas ISD, Houghton Lake in Michigan), with secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb, Henry County, Georgia Southern University) and Florida (Pinellas County, Seminole County). Representative recent solicitations include Katy ISD's RFP #2428KD-A (Teaching and Instructional Materials, Supplies, Equipment and Services), posted July 10, 2026, seeking comprehensive instructional products across ELA, math, science, social studies, and special education with a response date of May 29, 2026 (note: this due date appears to precede the posting date in source records, likely indicating an amended or extended timeline); Houghton Lake Community Schools' RFP RFPHLCS2600000023601 (Math Curriculum), posted July 14, 2026, requesting grades 6-12 mathematics curriculum aligned to Michigan standards and Common Core, with responses due July 28, 2026; and Northside ISD's IFB 2026-066 (Curriculum & Instructional Supplies Districtwide), posted March 31, 2026, seeking on-demand curriculum and instructional supplies across all subject areas districtwide with sealed bids due April 30, 2026. Contract terms typically run one year with two to four optional renewals; pricing is commonly fixed for the initial period with escalation limited to CPI or mutual agreement at renewal; and no guaranteed minimum volumes apply—districts order on an as-needed basis.
