UNSPSC 73111600: Pulp and paper processing

UNSPSC 73111600 Pulp and paper processing is a Class code encompassing the supply of finished paper products to state and local educational institutions. State and local governments buy under this code primarily bulk art and specialty papers for K–12 classroom instruction and student activities—including construction paper, drawing paper, sketch pads, watercolor paper, charcoal paper, newsprint, tag board, kraft paper, and decorative materials such as origami papers, metallic foils, and fadeless art tissue. School districts are the primary buying bodies under this code; the opportunities show individual districts procuring annual supplies through formal competitive bidding rather than through statewide cooperatives or framework agreements.

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida issued Invitation to Bid #19200044B-LL for bulk art paper procurement in October 2019, with a response deadline of October 1, 2019 and a total award of $43,089.75 across six vendors including Pyramid School Products, Smith Office & Computer Supply, Cascade School Supplies, S&S Worldwide, Blick Art Materials, and School Specialty, Inc. The solicitation covered 24 line items with manufacturer and part number specifications, permitted bidders to respond on all or select items, and applied a 5 percent Florida preference to eligible vendors. Delivery was required F.O.B. to the district warehouse in Sanford, Florida, with Net 30 payment terms. The source provides no recent activity beyond 2019 and does not identify opportunities from other states or jurisdictions.
