UNSPSC 60141307: Play animals

UNSPSC 60141307 Play animals is a Commodity code that captures educational and therapeutic toys, sensory items, and classroom manipulatives purchased by state and local education and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying play animals alongside broader assortments of educational supplies, sensory-room products, adaptive equipment, and classroom materials—often bundled into Montessori kits, sensory-therapy catalogs, and miscellaneous classroom and therapeutic supply contracts. The issuing bodies span school districts of all sizes, county human services agencies, state health and human services commissions, and education service cooperatives acting as purchasing aggregators. Hillsborough County Public Schools, the nation's seventh-largest district, solicited Montessori classroom supplies (including manipulatives and educational resources) under ITQ 26126ITQEST with an April 10, 2026 response deadline. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission bid out miscellaneous medical and sensory supplies for a state-supported living center under IFB HHS0017685 with an August 19, 2026 deadline and a historical annual value of $50,000. Rockland County sought sensory, classroom, and adaptive products through a catalog discount vehicle (RFB RC2026051, September 10, 2026 deadline). The City of Philadelphia and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (representing Texas school districts) both issued games and instructional-materials procurement vehicles, though these were broader in scope than play animals alone.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida, Texas, and New York, with recent postings spread across early May through late October 2026. School districts represent the most frequent issuing bodies, followed by state human services and county agencies. The code shows light but steady activity in education procurement and therapeutic/adaptive supply contracting; play animals rarely appear as a standalone line item and are typically purchased within broader sensory, classroom-supply, or educational-materials catalogs. Vendors responding should expect requirements or catalog-discount contract structures, firm fixed pricing with markup caps (15 percent at HCPS), compliance with foreign-entity attestations and human-trafficking certifications in many jurisdictions, and longer initial response cycles (30–120 day windows from posting to close) typical of school and county procurement. Set-asides are not standard under this code, though SBE and small-business preferences apply in some jurisdictions.
