UNSPSC 60122300: Basketry making supplies

UNSPSC 60122300 Basketry making supplies (Class) covers arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies that state and local governments procure for parks departments, recreation programs, senior services, and community education initiatives. The code encompasses items used in after-school programs, community schools, special-population services, and general recreation divisions—supplies typically sourced through multi-vendor standing contracts rather than project-specific procurements. Issuing bodies under this code include city and consolidated-government parks and recreation departments, which structure purchases as annual or multi-year discount-contract vehicles to manage what are often modest aggregate volumes across multiple internal programs and divisions.

Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFB No. 26-0014 in February 2026, seeking arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for its Department of Parks and Recreation on an as-needed basis with an anticipated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000. The bid closed February 25, 2026; the contract terms included a two-year base with three optional one-year renewals, multiple-award structure, and the city's reservation to purchase through comparable cooperative contracts if costs were lower. Bidders were required to maintain warehouse stock, ship within ten days, and provide pricing based on discounted catalog percentages with all delivery and handling included. Geographic activity under the code remains limited in recent records, with this Columbus opportunity representing the primary visible state and local procurement signal.
