UNSPSC 60124315: Oilbased nonhardening modeling compounds

UNSPSC 60124315 Oil-based nonhardening modeling compounds is a Commodity code that captures clay and related pottery materials for education and recreation programs operated by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show that state and local jurisdictions are buying clay in bulk (City of Orlando orders 4,000 to 5,000 pounds on forty-five-day cycles), glazes in multiple varieties (Bmix, Black Mountain, half-and-half clays; Mason Stains; dry glazes), and ancillary pottery supplies for community recreation centers and school district art programs. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal recreation departments (City of Orlando, City of Tucson), county parks and recreation agencies (Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Fort Bend ISD, Texas), and regional education service centers functioning as cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). City of Orlando and Gwinnett County appear as repeat buyers, each posting multiple pottery-equipment and materials solicitations within recent months.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in the South and Southwest, with posted opportunities from Orlando and Tucson in 2026 and multiple Gwinnett County (Georgia) solicitations in September 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Orlando's IFB 27-0025, posted October 6, 2026, for pottery supplies with a bid due date of November 5, 2026, featuring a Veteran Business Enterprise preference and a one-year contract term with four optional renewal periods; Gwinnett County's purchase of pottery wheels (September 10, 2026 deadline) and electric kilns (September 25, 2026 deadline); and Fort Bend ISD's RFP 27-004KB (due September 25, 2026) for art supplies, equipment, replacement parts, and maintenance services across the district's schools. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year term, though this is a broad education-supply vehicle and does not isolate pottery materials specifically. All sourcing reflects fixed, F.O.B. Destination pricing with delivery-time commitments ranging from one week for in-stock items to next-day and second-day emergency shipments.
