UNSPSC 60121112: Groundwood construction paper

UNSPSC 60121112 Groundwood construction paper is a Commodity code that encompasses bulk supply of art and instructional papers to state and local educational institutions. State and local governments under this code primarily procure commodity paper products—construction paper, drawing paper, newsprint, sketch pads, charcoal paper, and related stock—for delivery to school district warehouses and individual school sites. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across multiple states, with repeat activity from Florida school systems (Seminole County, Polk County, Marion County) and Georgia school systems (Savannah-Chatham, Dougherty County). These procurements are structured as annual or multi-year term contracts with firm fixed pricing and multiple-award options, typically bundled with broader instructional and office supply categories rather than as standalone paper-only awards.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Florida and Georgia. The School Board of Seminole County issued Invitation to Bid #19200044B-LL in April 2026 for art paper bulk supply across 24 line items, with bids due October 1, 2019 and total award of $43,089.75 across multiple vendors. The School Board of Polk County issued Invitation to Bid 038RW0426 in April 2026 for art materials including papers—157 line items with sealed bids due April 21, 2026 via VendorLink. The School Board of Marion County, Florida issued Bid #4153AM in February 2026 for multi-purpose paper (31 line items including colored and specialty papers) for a ten-month term ending December 31, 2026, with bids due January 14, 2026. The Dougherty County School System in Georgia solicited catalog discounts for art and instructional supplies under 001-PUR-2027 with proposals due April 28, 2026. Cooperative purchasing agreements also appear—the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) solicited office and school supplies across 31 state member agencies with proposals due August 13, 2026. Groundwood paper activity remains limited and school-district driven; no recent opportunities show substantial volume or contract values.
