UNSPSC 60103107: Geoboard rubber bands

UNSPSC 60103107 Geoboard rubber bands is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity under its nominal description. State and local governments buying under this code tag solicitations for general teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services across K–12 school districts, with geoboard rubber bands appearing as individual line items within much larger consolidated procurement vehicles for classroom consumables, manipulatives, and educational resources. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and some state education agencies, procuring as part of comprehensive instructional material frameworks that bundle mathematics manipulatives, science supplies, early learning resources, and related classroom equipment. Recent solicitations frame geoboard rubber bands as minor consumables nested within broader instructional supply catalogs rather than standalone procurement targets.

Activity clusters in Texas and Florida, with additional solicitations posted by Arizona school district consortia and the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education. Katy Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP #2428KD-A in July 2026 for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services across multiple campuses, closing May 29, 2026, with contract term through October 22, 2027 and up to three annual renewals; the procurement encompasses general instruction materials across English Language Arts, Mathematics, Reading, Science, Social Studies, and related subject areas. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued ITB 26126ITQEST in April 2026 for Montessori Classroom Supplies with 310 line items of manipulatives and materials, and issued separate ITB 26067ITBEST in February 2026 for Montessori classroom materials through blanket catalog discount pricing. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona), on behalf of the SAVE consortium, issued RFP 260331 in May 2026 for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and Programs with estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across member districts, closing June 8, 2026. The District of Columbia OSSE issued two separate play therapy kit RFQs (DOC835842 in July 2026 and DOC814520 in February 2026), neither of which directly relates to geoboard rubber bands. The code shows low specificity in recent state and local procurement—geoboard rubber bands are not typically solicited as standalone items, and the tagged opportunities reflect broader instructional material consolidation rather than targeted demand for the commodity itself.
