UNSPSC 60102917: Time reference guides

UNSPSC 60102917 Time reference guides is a Commodity code describing quick-reference educational materials—wall charts, laminated guides, and printed reference tools—that state and local school districts and higher education institutions procure to support classroom instruction and student learning. Recent state and local solicitations show school boards acquiring subject-specific quick-reference materials aligned to state standards, with a mix of sole-source procurement and competitive open bidding depending on established vendor relationships and product availability.

School districts across the Southeast and Texas comprise the primary issuing bodies under this code, with recent activity concentrated in Florida, Georgia, and Texas school systems. The Seminole County School Board (Florida) issued a sole-source notice in April 2026 for four ISTE+ASCD Quick Reference Guide products—Understanding Differentiated Instruction, Understanding Special Education Beyond the Jargon, Improving Executive Function Skills, and Transformational Learning Principles in Practice—with an approximate annual expenditure of $15,000 and a response deadline of February 23, 2026. Broader instructional-resource solicitations by Katy Independent School District (Texas), Klein Independent School District (Texas), DeKalb County School District (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), and Henry County Schools (Georgia) have tagged this code alongside larger curriculum and materials procurements covering multiple subject areas and grade spans, indicating that quick-reference guides often compete within wider instructional-materials frameworks rather than as standalone line items. The code sees episodic activity—sole-source determinations dominate when districts have established relationships with specific publishers (such as ISTE+ASCD), while competitive RFPs for instructional materials packages sometimes subsume reference guides as minor components of larger curriculum awards.
