UNSPSC 60102917: Time reference guides

UNSPSC 60102917 Time reference guides, a Commodity code, encompasses curriculum guides, quick-reference instructional materials, and educational resource directories that state and local educational bodies purchase to support classroom instruction and teacher planning. School districts and state education agencies acquire these materials both as standalone reference products and as components of broader curriculum adoption packages; they serve as supplementary aids to core instructional content, professional development resources, and assessment-preparation guides aligned to state academic standards. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state education agencies (Texas Education Agency), large urban school districts (Dallas ISD, Katy ISD, Tempe Elementary School District), mid-sized district systems (Gwinnett County Public Schools, Pinellas County School District), smaller districts (Houghton Lake Community Schools, Wicomico County Public Schools), and regional boards (School Board of Seminole County, Florida).

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia. The Texas Education Agency is procuring OER-sourced materials and custom-built instructional guides for K-12 Social Studies and Spanish-language instruction (RFP 701-26-027, responses due November 13, 2026), while Tempe Elementary School District is adopting a comprehensive K-8 English Language Arts curriculum with digital resources and supplemental materials aligned to Arizona standards (RFP 270532, responses due October 27, 2026).

Katy ISD issued a broad supplemental solicitation for teaching and instructional materials across multiple subjects including visual and performing arts supplies and consumables (RFP 2428KD-A, responses due May 29, 2026).
