UNSPSC 60121303: Mat knives

UNSPSC 60121303 Mat knives is a Commodity code covering cutting tools and blades used in art, craft, and design applications. Recent state and local opportunities show the code capturing procurement of art supplies and materials broadly — including brushes, paints, papers, markers, craft materials, and framing — rather than mat knives specifically. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, city procurement departments, state agencies, and county governments. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio posted an IFB on July 7, 2026 for Art Supplies & Equipment districtwide with bids due July 30, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring vendors to respond to maintain business eligibility. The School Board of Marion County, Florida solicited bids for a ten-month term contract to procure approximately 215 line items of art supplies for its Central Warehouse, with proposals due January 14, 2026 and the contract term running March 1 through December 31, 2026. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Department of Parks and Recreation issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 in February 2026 for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies across multiple divisions, with annual spending estimated at $30,000 to $50,000.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase RFQ in June 2026 for display and picture frames with a maximum contract value of $43,000 and a requirements contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board posted RFP 7925-SJ in May 2026 seeking qualified firms to provide comprehensive artwork packages including decorative art, wayfinding signage, design services, and installation for the Tuskegee Airmen Texas State Veterans Home in Fort Worth, with proposals originally due April 22, 2026 and a 1.0 percent Veteran-Owned Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting goal. Most recent opportunities are posted as IFB, RFQ, or RFB notices with response windows typically two to four weeks, and award strategies frequently include multiple vendors or line-item flexibility based on the procuring agency's operational needs.
