UNSPSC 60102913: Money reference guides

UNSPSC 60102913 Money reference guides, a Commodity code, covers instructional reference materials and quick-reference guides that state and local education agencies adopt for classroom and professional development use. The solicitations under this code show school districts and state education agencies procuring curriculum guides, subject-specific reference materials, and educational quick-reference products aligned to state academic standards and teaching frameworks. The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts and state education agencies, with some higher-education participation; the Texas Education Agency appears in multiple recent opportunities, and individual school districts across Texas, Florida, Arizona, Michigan, and Maryland are active solicitors. Representative recent work includes the Texas Education Agency's RFP 70126027 (posted October 14, 2026, due November 13, 2026) for PreK-12 Open Education Resources sourcing, custom development, and continuous improvement services; Tempe Elementary School District's RFP 270532 (posted September 30, 2026, due October 27, 2026) for comprehensive K-8 English Language Arts core curriculum with textbooks and digital resources; and the School Board of Seminole County, Florida's sole-source procurement (posted September 21, 2026, due February 23, 2026) for ISTE+ASCD Quick Reference Guide products including titles on differentiated instruction, special education, and executive function. The Pinellas County School District issued an instructional services IFB (posted September 28, 2026, due February 16, 2026) through the e-Procurement Portal.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (TEA, Katy ISD, Dallas ISD, Houghton Lake Community Schools), Florida (Seminole County, Pinellas County), and Arizona (Tempe Elementary), with supporting procurement in Maryland and Michigan. The code also encompasses statewide framework agreements such as Texas's SMART Buy program for books and educational materials (posted September 3, 2026, due October 16, 2026) and state-level development contracts for open educational resources. Contract terms typically span three to five years with renewal options, and evaluation commonly weights price, vendor reputation, quality, alignment to state standards, and past district relationships. Most solicitations specify firm pricing for initial terms and do not announce guaranteed purchase volumes or minimum quantities, instead operating on as-needed basis with quarterly or annual ordering.
