UNSPSC 60105701: Memory books

UNSPSC 60105701 Memory books (Commodity) covers classroom and office supplies sourced through school district bulk procurements, though the recent activity in this code centers on broader classroom supply aggregates rather than memory books as a standalone product line. State and local governments, primarily school districts in Florida and Texas, source these items through centralized warehouse contracts that bundle office supplies, composition books, notebooks, and related stationery. Pinellas County School District (Florida) solicited 104 line items including composition books and legal pads under ITB 26HO014 with an approximate annual contract value of $330,000; Seminole County Schools (Florida) issued multiple warehouse supply contracts covering classroom supplies and paper products; and Marion County Schools (Florida) released three parallel ten-month term contracts in February 2026 for classroom supplies (194 line items), multi-purpose paper, and physical education supplies to serve central warehouse distribution. School districts represent the dominant issuing body, complemented by multi-district purchasing cooperatives such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, which issued RFP CLSF2628 on June 23, 2026, for catalog discount pricing on classroom furniture and supplies with estimated total expenditures of $21,568,516.00 across a two-year award period and 62 prior vendors.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. Florida school districts—Pinellas County, Seminole County, and Marion County—released the majority of recent solicitations using ITB and RFP vehicles with response dates between January and April 2026. Texas entities including Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Kilgore), Donna Independent School District (Cameron County), and Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District (Cameron County) issued RFPs for classroom supplies and materials on catalog-discount models, with deadlines ranging from March to May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Pinellas County Schools ITB 26HO014 (response due April 30, 2026) for classroom and office supplies with orders to the Walter Pownall Service Center; Marion County Schools Bid #4151AM (due January 14, 2026) covering 194 line items of classroom supplies for central warehouse delivery; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative RFP CLSF2628 (due May 26, 2026) for catalog discount pricing on classroom furniture and supplies. Contract terms typically span one to two years with as-needed ordering, firm fixed pricing, and net 30-day payment terms.
