UNSPSC 60105608: Recipe books or cook books

UNSPSC 60105608 Recipe books or cook books is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure library materials and educational resources that include cookbooks alongside broader collections of reference works, fiction, non-fiction, and specialized publications for school and public library systems. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are school districts and state education agencies. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, represents the primary recent buyer, issuing a catalog-bid RFP for library books and supplies covering the 2026-2027 school year that explicitly names cookbooks as part of a comprehensive acquisition of audio materials, leadership development titles, K-12 and higher-education resources, periodicals, laboratory manuals, and medical publications. The State of Texas has also issued a general RFP for books and educational materials, though the full scope of that procurement is not detailed in the available documentation.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. Donna ISD's RFP 011326-864 for Library Books & Supplies closed on April 8, 2026, and structured awards as multiple-vendor catalog bids with pricing as a discount from published catalog or website prices, F.O.B. Destination, for a contract term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with optional two-year extensions. The State of Texas RFP OD-441-26 posted on May 5, 2026, with the same closing date, but the full scope and evaluation criteria are contained in supplementary documentation not provided in the summary. Donna ISD specified no guaranteed minimum purchase quantities, required vendor compliance with Texas State Purchasing Laws, and requested customer references from work performed within the past five years; no set-asides or DBE restrictions appear in the Donna solicitation.
