UNSPSC 60103410: Map teaching aids or materials

UNSPSC 60103410 Map teaching aids or materials is a Commodity code. State and local school districts and education agencies are procuring instructional materials, digital resources, and curriculum content across multiple subject areas and grade levels under this code, though recent opportunities show scope extending well beyond maps to encompass comprehensive curriculum adoption, open educational resources development, core content materials, and supplemental instructional goods. The Texas Education Agency, school districts in Texas, Arizona, Florida, and Michigan, and higher education coordinating boards are all actively soliciting under this code for everything from K-12 English Language Arts and mathematics curricula to specialized nursing programs and visual and performing arts materials. Issuing bodies include state education agencies managing statewide frameworks and procurement consortia, large independent school districts managing district-wide adoptions and supplemental purchasing, and specialized boards coordinating resources across state university systems. The code captures both competitive adoption processes requiring vendor proposals, presentations, and pilot reviews, and cooperative-purchasing frameworks establishing indefinite-delivery vehicles for ongoing replenishment buying.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Arizona, and Florida. The Texas Education Agency posted RFP 701-26-027 (due November 13, 2026) for PreK-12 Open Education Resources sourcing, customization, and continuous improvement services, with a 5 percent service-disabled veteran-owned business participation goal and a five-year initial contract term commencing May 2027. Tempe Elementary School District in Arizona issued RFP 270532 (due October 27, 2026) for K-8 English Language Arts core curriculum adoption requiring ESSA evidence-based ratings and alignment to Arizona standards, with a five-year firm-pricing term through June 30, 2031. Katy Independent School District in Texas issued RFP 2428KD-A (due May 29, 2026) for teaching and instructional materials and equipment across multiple subject areas on a district-wide as-needed basis, with a three-year term and two successive one-year renewal options. Dallas Independent School District posted RFP EO250353 (due August 27, 2026) for academic enrichment and visual and performing arts instructional materials with a 30 percent aspirational SBE participation goal. Texas established a statewide SMART Buy framework (RFP 260904, due October 16, 2026) for books, library, and educational materials through the TIPS-USA cooperative-purchasing vehicle. Pricing models range from firm-price commitments across multi-year terms to monthly invoicing based on deliverable acceptance and performance. Pre-proposal meetings, digital review access requirements, and finalist presentation cycles are standard components of larger adoption solicitations.
