UNSPSC 60105703: Memory book paper

UNSPSC 60105703 Memory book paper, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve classroom and office supplies, multi-purpose paper, and general school merchandise rather than memory books or yearbook-grade paper products. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts — Pinellas County Schools (Florida), Seminole County Schools (Florida), Marion County Schools (Florida), Donna ISD (Texas), and Los Fresnos Consolidated ISD (Texas) — along with the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas), which serves multiple districts through cooperative contracts. Most solicitations are structured as Invitations to Bid (ITB) for warehouse stocking of bulk supplies delivered on an as-needed basis, though some are Requests for Proposal (RFP) for catalog discount bids. Vendors typically compete across dozens to over a hundred line items spanning composition books, envelopes, file folders, legal pads, markers, pens, binders, tape, and related office and classroom materials. The work involves supplying materials in bulk quantities — ranging from 50 to 8,400 units depending on item and contract — with strict packaging and delivery requirements, often to a single central warehouse location.

Activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas, with the most recent opportunities posted in February through June 2026. Representative solicitations include the Pinellas County Schools ITB for Classroom and Office Supplies (due April 30, 2026, for approximately $330,000 annually), the Marion County Schools ITB for Classroom Supplies for Central Warehouse (194 line items, due January 14, 2026, for a ten-month term ending December 31, 2026), the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative RFP for Classroom Furniture & Supplies (due May 26, 2026, with estimated total expenditures of $21,568,516.00 across 62 previously awarded vendors), and Donna ISD's RFP for Classroom Supplies & Materials Catalog Bid (due April 8, 2026, for the 2026-2027 school year). Contracts typically run one year or ten months with fixed pricing; Florida districts apply a 5 percent state preference to eligible bidders, and most require Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, E-Verify compliance, and background screening under state education codes.
