UNSPSC 60141024: Rattles

UNSPSC 60141024 Rattles is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure educational and therapeutic sensory items, including classroom manipulatives, sensory room products, adaptive equipment, and miscellaneous supplies for schools and state health agencies. Recent opportunities show school districts and public health entities purchasing rattles and related sensory items as part of broader Montessori classroom packages, therapeutic product catalogs, and health-facility supply contracts. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, for example, solicited 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies including manipulatives and sensory materials under ITQ 26126ITQEST (response deadline April 10, 2026), while Rockland County established a catalog discount vehicle for sensory room, classroom, and therapeutic products through RFB RFBRC2026051 (due September 10, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017685 for miscellaneous medical and sensory supplies for the Denton State Supported Living Center with a historical expenditure baseline of $50,000 annually. The mix of issuing bodies spans large school districts, county governments, and state health and human services agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and New York, with secondary activity in other states purchasing through regional cooperatives. Hillsborough County Public Schools, the nation's seventh-largest school district serving approximately 225,000 students across 235 schools, represents the most recent and detailed solicitation, requiring vendor registration, compliance with foreign-supply affidavits, and Jessica Lunsford Act fingerprinting for personnel with student access. The City of Philadelphia issued RFQ B2627177 for games under a $43,000 annual requirements contract (due May 27, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas has issued recent catalog discount bids spanning instructional materials and transportation supplies. Pricing in recent solicitations reflects firm fixed-unit costs with markup caps of 15 percent, net payment terms of 45 days, and competitive lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder awards. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent opportunities reviewed, though jurisdictions encourage SBE registration and drug-free workplace certification for preference consideration.
