UNSPSC 60121510: Soy based crayons

UNSPSC 60121510 Soy based crayons is a Commodity code for specialized crayons made from soybean oil rather than petroleum-based paraffin — a product category that state and local governments buy primarily through school supply cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts at once. The recent solicitation activity shows that while the code nominally describes soy-based crayons specifically, state and local buyers actually procure crayons as part of broader art-supplies bundles that include markers, colored pencils, erasers, brushes, tempera paints, and modeling clay. School systems are the dominant end-users, with purchasing coordinated through county-level cooperative purchasing agencies that aggregate demand across dozens of districts to achieve volume pricing and simplified vendor management.

The Coleman County Purchasing Agency (CPA) cooperative purchasing bid for 35 Georgia school systems, posted August 11, 2026 with responses due September 15, 2026, represents the primary recent opportunity under this code. That IFB solicits crayons alongside a comprehensive range of art supplies for the 2027 contract year, with estimated annual quantities of 8 to 8,000 units depending on item type and actual orders placed by member systems throughout the year rather than as bulk upfront purchases. The scope is geographically concentrated in Georgia under this active opportunity, with F.O.B. delivery to CPA's warehouse in Cleveland, Georgia and net 30 payment terms. A separate roof-replacement solicitation from the City of Madison appears in the source block but is unrelated to soy-based crayons or art supplies and reflects a data-tagging error; the code shows little additional activity beyond the Georgia cooperative purchasing vehicle.
