UNSPSC 13111219: Polyvinyl alcohol films

UNSPSC 13111219 Polyvinyl alcohol films is a Commodity code that covers polyvinyl and polyester overlaminate films with security features, adhesive backing, and specialized liners. State and local governments solicit these materials primarily for identity document production, license plate mounting, and other secure printing applications that require integrated holograms, state seals, or tamper-resistant construction. The Colorado Department of Corrections has posted two recent quotes for overlaminate film used in manufacturing temporary license plate mounting boards at its Tag Plant, indicating that correctional industries and state document-production facilities are the primary buying bodies under this code. Solicitations require full product specifications including mil thickness, liner basis weight, adhesive type, and packaging configurations (rolls, bundles, cases, pallets), along with mandatory samples for approval before award. Bidders must meet insurance minimums of $1 million general liability per occurrence, register with state procurement systems, and complete criminal background and facility-security compliance checks.

Recent activity is concentrated in Colorado, where the Department of Corrections issued RFQ DQ1CFAA20270001021 and DQ1CFAA20270001022 for overlaminate film due September 23–24, 2026. Both solicitations specify identical film products — 650,000 units of 7-inch by 12-inch 4-mil polyester film with hologram and state seal, and 702,000 units of 1-inch by 10-inch 3-mil polyester film — with an October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 Purchase Order term. Colorado's recent quotes note state set-aside goals for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business participation at no less than 3 percent of contract value. Pricing must be all-inclusive with no additional freight or surcharges after award, and pricing remains firm during the Purchase Order term with optional annual increases not to exceed 2.5 percent by mutual agreement.
