UNSPSC 60121152: Writing slates

UNSPSC 60121152 Writing slates is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit under this code for educational supplies and materials including writing slates, classroom supplies, sensory room products, therapeutic and adaptive equipment, and miscellaneous instructional items. Recent opportunities reveal that issuing bodies are purchasing comprehensive catalogs of classroom materials—such as Montessori manipulatives, nomenclature cards, mathematics task cards, and language resources—as well as sensory and therapeutic products through both fixed-item solicitations and open-ended catalog discount arrangements. The work spans school districts, county health and human services departments, county purchasing cooperatives, and municipal procurement offices, with school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles appearing most active in recent postings.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and New York. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an ITQ in October 2026 for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies (due April 10, 2026) structured as a requirements contract with automatic renewal; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB in August 2026 for miscellaneous supplies including sensory items for the Denton State Supported Living Center (bids due August 19, 2026), with a historical contract value of $50,000; Rockland County solicited sensory room and classroom products through catalog discount pricing (due September 10, 2026); and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued RFPs for instructional catalog discounts with estimated annual expenditures of $13.4 million and $10.4 million across different contract cycles. The City of Philadelphia also solicited games under a $43,000 maximum-value requirements contract in May 2026. Cooperative purchasing vehicles and school districts represent the largest recent buyers under this code.
