UNSPSC 60124301: Moist kiln fired clay

UNSPSC 60124301 Moist kiln fired clay, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under or near this code are all educational supplies and arts-and-craft procurement, none of which involve kiln-fired clay products in any form. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) issued EDACT2628, a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies with proposals due July 30, 2026, serving multiple school districts across its network under a two-year contract term. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued RFB No. 26-0014 for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for its Department of Parks and Recreation, with responses due February 25, 2026, at a budgeted annual volume of $30,000 to $50,000. Both solicitations are seeking catalog-discount pricing models and multi-vendor awards rather than product-specific procurement of clay or ceramic materials.

The code displays activity primarily in Texas and Georgia, but the geographic spread is minimal given that only two jurisdictions appear in recent records and neither is soliciting for products matching the code's stated commodity. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative has reissued its educational supplies bid (EDACT2324 closed August 8, 2023, with EDACT2628 now active), suggesting repeat cooperative activity but directed at general educational materials, not clay products. The mismatch between the code label and the actual work being solicited indicates this Commodity code either is misassigned in these opportunities or sees little genuine procurement activity in state and local markets for moist kiln-fired clay as a standalone product category.
