UNSPSC 73111603: Hardboard or fiberboard production services

UNSPSC 73111603 Hardboard or fiberboard production services is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, captures consumable art and specialty papers procured in bulk for educational use. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida issued ITB 19200044BLL for a one-year art paper supply contract covering 24 line items including charcoal paper, construction paper, drawing paper, newsprint, sketch pads, finger paint paper, fadeless art paper, metallic foil papers, origami papers, railroad board, tag board, kraft paper, art tissue, and watercolor paper. The code shows activity primarily in school district procurement, where purchasing departments solicit sealed bids for multi-vendor, line-item-based supply contracts with specific manufacturer and part number requirements. Bidders typically may propose on all items or select lines, and awards often go to multiple vendors. Payment terms follow standard Net 30 arrangements, with F.O.B. delivery to designated warehouse locations.

The Seminole County School Board's ITB, posted October 19, 2026 with a sealed-bid due date of October 1, 2019, resulted in awards totaling $43,089.75 spread across six vendors: Pyramid School Products, Smith Office & Computer Supply, Cascade School Supplies, S&S Worldwide, Blick Art Materials, and School Specialty, Inc. The solicitation applied a 5 percent Florida preference to eligible bidders and included a voluntary pre-bid meeting. Recent activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida school districts; the source contains no additional opportunities from other states or issuing bodies. The code sees limited visibility in posted state and local procurement, suggesting either narrow application or off-code tagging of art and educational supplies under broader commodity categories.
