UNSPSC 60123301: Acrylic craft poms

UNSPSC 60123301 Acrylic craft poms, a Commodity code, covers decorative pom-poms and similar craft embellishments purchased by state and local agencies for educational, recreational, and community programming. State and local governments procure these supplies primarily through Parks and Recreation departments to support after-school programs, community schools, senior centers, and special-populations recreation divisions. Purchasing volumes are typically modest — annual consumption ranges from tens of thousands to low six figures at individual issuing bodies — and procurement officers often consolidate acrylic craft poms with broader arts, crafts, hobby, and recreational supplies categories in single RFQ or IFB solicitations rather than issuing code-specific tenders. Vendors pursuing this code should expect requests for maintained warehouse stock, rapid fulfillment capability (often within ten days of order receipt), and pricing quoted as discounts from established catalog pricing rather than item-level unit pricing.

The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFB No. 26-0014 in February 2026 seeking multiple vendors to supply arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies to the Department of Parks and Recreation on an as-needed basis through a two-year contract with three optional one-year renewals; the solicitation encompassed annual purchasing of $30,000 to $50,000 across five program divisions and closed February 25, 2026. The low recent-opportunity density under this specific code suggests that acrylic craft poms move primarily as line items within broader commodity bundles rather than through standalone procurements, and business development professionals should monitor Parks and Recreation departments and school districts in Georgia and comparable jurisdictions for competitive opportunities.
