UNSPSC 60122905: Ceramic beads

UNSPSC 60122905 Ceramic beads, a Commodity code, sees state and local procurement activity focused narrowly on arts and craft supply bundles rather than ceramic beads as a standalone item. The sourced opportunities show school districts and municipal parks departments soliciting multi-line arts and craft contracts that include beads alongside brushes, paints, markers, papers, and miscellaneous craft materials. Issuing bodies consist primarily of school districts and municipal parks departments acquiring supplies for educational programs, after-school activities, and community recreation. The contracts are typically term agreements with as-needed ordering, ranging from annual volumes of $30,000 to $50,000 or comprehensive 215-plus line-item central warehouse procurements.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast, with recent solicitations posted by the School Board of Marion County, Florida (due January 14, 2026, for a ten-month term contract spanning March through December 2026) and Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia (RFB No. 26-0014, due February 25, 2026, for a two-year term with three optional one-year renewals). Both opportunities treat ceramic beads as one component within broader craft supply aggregations rather than as a primary procurement category. The Columbus solicitation expects to award multiple vendors on an as-needed basis with annual volumes of $30,000 to $50,000, while the Marion County School Board bid requires brand-specific products from manufacturers including Crayola and Fiskars, delivered to a central warehouse with compliance to consumer safety standards. The code shows limited standalone demand for ceramic beads in state and local procurement; pursuit is most viable as part of larger arts and craft supply distribution or bundled vendor relationships.
