UNSPSC 73111604: Paper production or recycling services

UNSPSC 73111604 Paper production or recycling services is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase bulk art paper stock and document shredding services under this code. The art paper procurement covers a wide range of school-supply items — construction paper, drawing paper, sketch pads, watercolor paper, metallic foil papers, origami, tag board, kraft paper, and related products — typically in volume quantities for school districts. Document destruction services, when tagged to this code, include secure on-site and off-site shredding for courts and other public agencies seeking compliance-driven records management. School districts emerge as the primary buyers of art paper, while state judicial and administrative bodies procure shredding services on an as-needed basis.

Recent activity centers on Florida and Maryland. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 19200044BLL) for bulk art paper with a response deadline of October 1, 2019, awarding $43,089.75 across multiple vendors including Pyramid School Products, Smith Office & Computer Supply, Cascade School Supplies, and School Specialty, Inc., with a 5 percent Florida preference applied to eligible bidders. The Administrative Office of the Courts is requesting bids on behalf of the District Court of Maryland to provide secure on-site and off-site document shredding services statewide across all twenty-three counties and the City of Baltimore, with bids due October 30, 2026, though the source provides no estimated contract value, volume, or incumbent vendor. The Maryland opportunity is current; the Florida art paper award is historical.
