UNSPSC 60105705: Acid free tape

UNSPSC 60105705 Acid free tape, a Commodity code, covers specialty tape products that state and local governments procure primarily as components of broader classroom and office supply contracts. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures acid-free and archival-grade tapes ordered alongside composition books, file folders, markers, and other consumables for warehouse distribution to schools. State and local buyers under this code include school districts and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple jurisdictions. The Pinellas County School District (Florida), Seminole County Public Schools (Florida), Marion County Schools (Florida), Donna Independent School District (Texas), and Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District (Texas) have all issued recent solicitations that include tape among broader classroom supply line items. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas), which manages cooperative purchasing for multiple school systems, posted a catalog discount RFP for classroom furniture and supplies. Most solicitations are structured as Invitations to Bid (ITB) or Requests for Proposal (RFP) issued on a term-contract basis, typically ten months to two years, with orders placed on an as-needed basis from central warehouses rather than as standing bulk purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. The Pinellas County School District (ITB 26HO014, due April 30, 2026) sought classroom and office supplies across 104 line items including tape, with an approximate annual contract value of $330,000 and delivery to the Walter Pownall Service Center in Largo. The Marion County Schools (Marion, Florida) issued three separate ten-month central warehouse term contracts posted February 2, 2026, due January 14, 2026, covering classroom supplies (ITB 4151AM, 194 line items), multi-purpose paper (ITB 4153AM, 31 line items), and physical education supplies (ITB 4157MF, 40 line items), with all deliveries to the Central Warehouse in Ocala. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Kilgore, Texas) issued an RFP for catalog discount classroom furniture and supplies (CLSF2628, due May 26, 2026) with estimated total expenditures of $21,568,516.00 across a two-year contract term. Donna ISD (Cameron County, Texas) and Los Fresnos CISD (also Cameron County, Texas) both issued RFPs for classroom supplies and general merchandise on catalog discount models due in April and March 2026 respectively. Vendors responding to these solicitations must comply with E-Verify, background screening, insurance minimums, and in Florida cases, the Jessica Lunsford Act. Most school districts reserve the right to make multiple awards and award by line item, category, or aggregate total as most advantageous.
