UNSPSC 60141114: Memory games

UNSPSC 60141114 Memory games is a Commodity code encompassing educational and recreational games, puzzles, and learning materials that state and local governments procure for school districts, early-learning centers, libraries, and community programs. Recent solicitations under this code reflect a fragmented mix of educational supply procurement, with the City of Fort Worth, Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS), and regional purchasing cooperatives dominating activity. The scope of work spans Montessori classroom materials and supplies, instructional resources for early learning (ages 0–5), video game collections for library systems, promotional and educational items bearing safety messaging, and catalog-based discount agreements for classroom games and educational materials. Issuing bodies include school districts, city departments (particularly libraries and recreation), purchasing cooperatives serving education consortia, and specialized child-care organizations. The code shows activity primarily from Texas and Florida jurisdictions, with Texas-based purchasing cooperatives and city procurement offices generating multiple recent solicitations.

Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' Invitation to Bid 26126ITQEST for Montessori Classroom Supplies (ITQ, response due April 10, 2026), which sought 310 line items of classroom materials with firm pricing capped at 15 percent markup; the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0153 for Video Games and Related Services (RFP, response due April 30, 2026), establishing an as-needed vendor services agreement for games across multiple console platforms with delivery to twenty Library locations and requiring 85 percent in-stock fulfillment capability; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's ICAT2426 Instructional Catalog discount bid (RFP, response due November 21, 2024), a two-year multi-vendor procurement with estimated expenditures of $10.4 million covering instructional materials and supplies. The City of Fort Worth RFP 26-0153 established a 30 percent Small Business participation goal. Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas (Fort Worth, Region 7 Cooperative serving multiple districts, Tarrant County), with secondary activity in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). One posted opportunity—Williamson County Purchasing Department's relocation notice—was administrative and not a procurement solicitation.
