UNSPSC 60141109: Collaborative games

UNSPSC 60141109 Collaborative games (Commodity) encompasses board games, card games, party games, and educational gaming materials that state and local governments procure for library collections, recreational programs, educational enrichment, and community engagement activities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity across school districts, municipal libraries, and public recreation departments purchasing games for circulation, classroom instruction, and public programming. The City of Fort Worth issued RFP 26-0153 in April 2026 seeking video games and related services for library and park-and-recreation delivery across twenty Library locations, including console titles for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox X, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, with cataloging and MARC record services. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted multiple solicitations for Montessori classroom materials and instructional resources that include educational games and manipulatives as part of broader curriculum-support packages. The code also captures promotional and educational items with game elements, as evidenced by the City of Fort Worth's April 2026 RFQt for Fire Department promotional items that included pop-up fire trucks and grab bags alongside other fire-safety educational products.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas (Fort Worth, Hillsborough County Florida, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple districts) and Michigan (City of Detroit), with Texas showing the heaviest concentration through municipal and cooperative solicitations. Cities and school districts are the primary issuing bodies, with the City of Fort Worth appearing multiple times across game-related and educational-item procurements. Recent opportunities include the City of Fort Worth's video-games RFP due April 30, 2026, emphasizing small-business utilization (30% participation goal) and best-value evaluation weighting small-business factors at 30 points; Hillsborough County Public Schools' Montessori classroom-supplies ITQ due April 10, 2026, accepting multiple vendors and restricting pricing to firm fixed costs with a 15 percent maximum markup; and Child Care Associates' RFP 2026RFP#01 due March 2, 2026, for instructional resources and supplies for ages 0–5 across Tarrant County. One posting (Williamson County Purchasing Department notice, July 2026) contains no procurement scope and does not constitute a pursuit opportunity.
