UNSPSC 60121155: Metallic card

Metallic card is a type of thick paper or card with a metallic finish, either on one or both sides, and is used in arts and crafts applications.

UNSPSC 60121155 Metallic card, a Commodity code, covers consumable art and craft supplies sourced by state and local governments through competitive procurement. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing metallic card stock and related art materials—including metallic foil papers, metallic card, and related specialty papers—as part of broader art supply contracts serving schools, parks and recreation departments, and state agencies. The scope encompasses physical art materials consumed in classroom instruction, after-school programming, community recreation, and institutional commissary operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts, county school boards, state procurement offices, and municipal parks and recreation departments. School boards dominate recent activity, with multiple Florida school districts (Marion County, Polk County, Seminole County) and Texas school districts (Donna ISD, Northside ISD in San Antonio) conducting regular competitive procurements. Purchases typically occur through IFB, ITB, or RFP notices and are often bundled with broader art-supply contracts spanning 150 to 215 line items rather than issued as standalone metallic-card solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, where school systems conduct regular replenishment cycles. The School Board of Marion County, Florida issued Bid #4150AM on February 2, 2026 (due January 14, 2026) for art supplies including metallic papers as part of a ten-month central warehouse contract running March 1 through December 31, 2026, with approximately 215 line items and estimated quantities ranging from 20 to 12,000 units depending on item. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) posted IFB2026096 on July 7, 2026 (due July 30, 2026) for art supplies and equipment districtwide, requiring vendors to respond to maintain business eligibility after contract 2025-104 expires September 30, 2026. Donna ISD (Cameron County, Texas) issued RFP 011326-867 on March 21, 2026 (due April 8, 2026) for art supplies through catalog discount bidding for the 2026-2027 school year, establishing multiple-vendor awards with optional two-year renewals. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts also procured illustration boards, mirrors, and cooling towels for state prison commissaries under IFB 304T-26-680A3.3 (due April 20, 2026), representing state-level institutional purchasing outside the K-12 education sector. Geographic activity spans Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Oklahoma, with Florida and Texas school districts showing the highest recent frequency.
