UNSPSC 60121210: Washable finger paint

UNSPSC 60121210 Washable finger paint (Commodity) encompasses paint products for classroom and educational use that state and local governments procure through school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent solicitations show school districts buying washable finger paint as part of broader art supplies packages rather than as a standalone line item; the code reflects what is actually being purchased in integrated art-supply contracts that bundle paints, papers, brushes, and related materials for K–12 classroom instruction.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from independent school districts in Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Fort Bend Independent School District), Florida (School Board of Seminole County), and Georgia (Coleman County Purchasing Agency serving 35 Georgia school systems), alongside Dallas Independent School District. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Coleman County Purchasing Agency and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative aggregate demand across multiple districts. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's IFB for Art Supplies & Equipment Districtwide (due July 30, 2026), Coleman County Purchasing Agency's cooperative bid on art supplies for Georgia school systems (due September 15, 2026, covering tempera paints and other supplies), and Fort Bend Independent School District's RFP for art supplies, equipment, and related services (due September 25, 2026). The School Board of Seminole County's ITB for art paper (posted September 2019, awarded at $43,089.75 total) illustrates the multi-vendor, multi-line-item structure typical of district art procurement, though that solicitation emphasized papers over paints. Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida. Most recent solicitations are ITB or RFP notices with response dates in late September 2026, reflecting the back-to-school procurement cycle common to school districts.
