UNSPSC 60141202: Ball pools or accessories

UNSPSC 60141202 Ball pools or accessories (Commodity) encompasses educational and therapeutic sensory products, classroom supplies, and adaptive equipment that state and local governments procure for school districts, health and human services facilities, and county social-service programs. Recent solicitations show that the code captures a broader range of sensory, adaptive, and educational materials than the nominal scope suggests—including manipulatives, nomenclature cards, sensory room furnishings, therapeutic equipment, protective garments, and adaptive utensils alongside traditional play and sensory items. Issuing bodies include large school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, serving 225,000 students across 235 schools in Florida), county departments (Rockland County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative purchasing organizations (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). School districts and health facilities dominate the recent activity, with procurement structured as either fixed-quantity buys or open-ended catalog discount agreements.

Recent solicitations span Florida, Texas, New York, and multi-state cooperative vehicles. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) on October 19, 2026, for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies—geography materials, language and grammar resources, mathematics manipulatives, and science research materials—with responses due April 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM, firm pricing capped at 15 percent markup, and a one-year renewal option.
