UNSPSC 60141101: Educational games

UNSPSC 60141101 Educational games, a Commodity code, encompasses board games, card games, digital learning games, and game-based educational kits that state and local governments procure to support classroom instruction, student engagement, and therapeutic or developmental services. Recent solicitations show school districts, state health and human services agencies, and special-purpose districts buying under this code for direct classroom use, enrichment programming, and behavioral or habilitative support, though the posted opportunities show limited direct activity specifically for "educational games" as a standalone line item; much of the recent activity clusters instead in broader instructional-materials or student-activities-and-fundraising RFPs that encompass games as one category among many educational products.

State and local buyers include independent school districts (San Antonio ISD, Katy ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), state departments of education and health services (Texas HHSC, District of Columbia OSSE), county public schools, and higher-education institutions. San Antonio ISD has issued multiple rolling student-activities-and-fundraising RFPs (continuous open solicitations through June 30, 2030) that invite vendors to propose educational products and services broadly; Katy ISD in Harris County, Texas posted RFP #2428KD-A in May 2026 (due May 29, 2026, now closed) for teaching and instructional materials spanning English Language Arts, Mathematics, Reading, Science, and Social Studies, with contract term through October 2027 and annual renewal options through 2030. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida's seventh-largest district) issued an ITQ in April 2026 for Montessori Classroom Supplies covering 310 line items including educational resources and materials, and in February 2026 issued an ITB for Montessori classroom materials via catalog-discount bidding. Texas HHSC procured habilitation consumables and equipment (including communication and adaptive devices with some game-like or interactive elements) under two July 2026 IFBs for Richmond State Supported Living Center (responses due July 15 and July 17, 2026). The District of Columbia OSSE issued RFQs in February and July 2026 for play therapy kits, a related therapeutic tool. Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in Georgia (Savannah State University) and Washington, D.C. The code shows recent but scattered opportunities; most school-district procurement of games flows through broader instructional-materials or student-engagement RFPs rather than games-specific solicitations.
