UNSPSC 60103410: Map teaching aids or materials

UNSPSC 60103410 Map teaching aids or materials is a Commodity code that encompasses curriculum materials, instructional resources, and educational supplies that state and local school districts procure to support K-12 classroom instruction. Recent solicitations show that districts are acquiring comprehensive curriculum packages including mathematics textbooks, science and social studies materials, career and technical education (CTE) resources, special education supplies, and supplemental instructional content in both print and digital formats, often bundled with professional development, assessments, and teacher support materials. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school systems across multiple states, including large urban systems such as Dallas ISD, Katy ISD, Northside ISD (San Antonio), DeKalb County Schools (Georgia), and smaller districts like Houghton Lake Community Schools (Michigan) and Harlingen Consolidated ISD (Texas). School districts frequently issue these solicitations as RFPs or IFBs with response dates spanning multiple weeks to allow vendor preparation time, and they routinely structure contracts with multi-year renewal options to lock in pricing and minimize annual re-procurement effort.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas (Katy ISD, Dallas ISD, Northside ISD, Harlingen CISD, Klein ISD), Georgia (DeKalb County Schools, Henry County Schools), Florida (Pinellas County Schools, Seminole County Schools), and Michigan (Houghton Lake Community Schools). Representative solicitations include Houghton Lake Community Schools' RFP for a comprehensive mathematics curriculum covering grades 6-12 with proposals due July 28, 2026, Katy ISD's RFP #2428KD-A for multi-subject teaching and instructional materials with evaluation criteria weighting purchase price (30%), vendor reputation (25%), and fit to district needs (15%), DeKalb County Schools' RFQ 26-724 for K-12 Science Instructional Resources due March 12, 2026, and Northside ISD's IFB 2026-066 for curriculum and instructional supplies districtwide due April 30, 2026. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewals, require FOB Destination delivery with freight prepaid, specify compliance with state and federal certifications, and evaluate vendors on best-value criteria that blend cost with vendor reputation, past performance, and alignment to state academic standards. Districts actively encourage Historically Underutilized Business (HUB), Small Business Enterprise (SBE), and minority- or women-owned vendor participation where applicable under state law, though formal set-asides vary by jurisdiction.
