UNSPSC 60141004: Stuffed animals or puppets

UNSPSC 60141004 Stuffed animals or puppets is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as classroom instructional materials, sensory and therapeutic products, and promotional items for transit and community agencies. Recent solicitations show school districts, county health and human services agencies, transit authorities, and municipalities buying these items as components of broader educational supply catalogs, sensory classroom packages, and branded promotional merchandise rather than as standalone toys. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida is sourcing Montessori classroom supplies including educational manipulatives and task cards through an ITQ; Rockland County is establishing a catalog discount contract for sensory room, classroom, therapeutic, and adaptive products; and the Agency for Community Transit in Illinois is procuring promotional items (squeeze toys, yo-yos, and similar products) for branding and community engagement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is bidding sensory items as part of miscellaneous medical and support supplies for a state-supported living center. The issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, state health and human services agencies, and regional transit authorities, with activity concentrated in procurement vehicles that bundle these items into larger educational or therapeutic supply agreements rather than as discrete commodity purchases.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Midwest, with recent opportunities in Florida, Texas, Illinois, New York (Rockland County), and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia). Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITQ 26126ITQEST for Montessori Classroom Supplies with response due April 10, 2026; Rockland County's RFBRC2026051 for sensory and therapeutic products through catalog discount pricing with quotes due September 10, 2026; the Agency for Community Transit's ITQ22600140 for promotional items due August 7, 2026 with September 1, 2026 delivery required; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017685 for miscellaneous supplies including sensory items for the Denton State Supported Living Center, with bids due August 19, 2026. The City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase contract B2627177 for games (maximum $43,000) closed May 27, 2026. Several opportunities employ cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount models, indicating multi-agency buys that may signal sustained procurement volume under this code across member districts and agencies.
