UNSPSC 60124325: Paper clay

White colored clay made by mixing paper, lime, rock powder and softener, and is used as teaching material for young children or in daily life crafts instead of natural clay.

UNSPSC 60124325 Paper clay, a Commodity code, covers consumable art materials and equipment that state and local governments source for recreation, education, and community arts programming. State and local buyers under this code procure pottery clay, kilns, pottery wheels, and related studio supplies and equipment to support pottery studios, community recreation centers, and school art programs. The mix of issuing bodies includes municipal recreation departments, county parks and recreation authorities, and independent school districts; the City of Orlando, Gwinnett County, Georgia, and independent school districts in Texas appear as active recent buyers.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The City of Orlando posted IFB 27-0025 in October 2026 for pottery supplies including clay, pottery wheels, and kiln furniture to support its pottery studio, with bids due November 5, 2026, applying a Veteran Business Enterprise preference and requiring F.O.B. Destination delivery within one week for in-stock items; the City orders clay in 4,000- to 5,000-pound quantities on a forty-five-day cycle. Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited pottery kilns (September 2026, IFB PE77023NONST2027000000753) and pottery wheels (September 2026, IFB PE77023NONST2027000000729) for parks and recreation facilities. Fort Bend Independent School District (Texas) and Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) both posted RFPs for art supplies and equipment districtwide in September and July 2026 respectively, bundling pottery materials with broader art procurement. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects ongoing operational support for maker spaces and art education rather than one-time capital expansion.
