UNSPSC 60121116: Crepe paper for crafts

UNSPSC 60121116 Crepe paper for crafts is a Commodity code covering specialty craft and art papers procured by school districts and other state and local public bodies. Recent solicitations show school boards are buying not crepe paper specifically, but a broader range of art and craft papers including construction paper, colored multi-purpose paper, cardstock, tissue, watercolor paper, origami paper, and other specialty stocks for classroom and art programs. The issuing bodies in recent activity are school districts—the School Board of Seminole County, Florida and the School Board of Marion County, Florida—procuring on a regular cycle through ITBs and term contracts to stock central warehouses and art facilities. Purchases are made on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term, with sealed-bid competitions and fixed pricing over one- to ten-month terms.

Activity is concentrated in Florida, where the two most recent opportunities posted in 2026. The School Board of Marion County, Florida issued an ITB (Bid #4153AM) posted February 2, 2026, for a ten-month multi-purpose paper contract covering 31 line items (ranging from 80 to 8,400 cases per item) with responses due January 14, 2026, and contract award anticipated February 24, 2026. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida awarded a one-year art paper ITB (#19200044B-LL) in October 2019 for $43,089.75 across multiple vendors including Pyramid School Products, Smith Office & Computer Supply, Cascade School Supplies, S&S Worldwide, Blick Art Materials, and School Specialty, Inc., with delivery to a warehouse in Sanford. Both solicitations required compliance with Florida bidding preferences and state business registration. The code shows limited recent activity outside of school district procurement in Florida, suggesting concentration in educational purchasing rather than broader municipal or county demand.
