UNSPSC 60141101: Educational games

UNSPSC 60141101 Educational games (Commodity) encompasses educational kits, craft supplies, play therapy materials, and instructional products that state and local governments procure for classroom enrichment, therapeutic intervention, and student engagement — far broader in practice than the code name suggests. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying Montessori classroom materials and manipulatives, STEM kits, play therapy supplies, adaptive communication devices, therapeutic consumables, sensory room products, and craft-based habilitation equipment. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Katy ISD and San Antonio ISD in Texas, Cartwright Elementary School District in Arizona), a county government (Rockland County, New York), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of the State Fire Marshal), and specialized education offices (District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education). School districts dominate the recent activity, with San Antonio ISD appearing across at least four continuous open RFPs tagged to student activities and fundraising, suggesting sustained procurement of educational goods.

Geographic spread centers on Texas (San Antonio ISD, Katy ISD, Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and scattered single opportunities in Florida, Arizona, New York, Oregon, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent activity includes Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITQ for Montessori classroom supplies (310 line items, response due April 10, 2026), Katy ISD's RFP for teaching and instructional materials across multiple subject areas (responses due May 29, 2026), Cartwright Elementary School District's SAVE cooperative RFP for STEM and college-readiness kits serving multiple Arizona districts and municipalities (responses due June 8, 2026, with $1.346 million estimated annual usage), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for habilitation consumables including communication devices and adapted music kits for Richmond State Supported Living Center (responses due July 17, 2026). No set-asides dominate the code; Florida encourages small business participation and drug-free workplace certification preferences, while Texas applies vendor-preference and service-disabled veteran-owned business preferences where qualified bidders respond, and HUB subcontracting plans are encouraged but not required.
