UNSPSC 14111544 Security paper, a Commodity code, covers specialized carbonless and security-grade papers that state and local governments procure for vital records, correctional operations, and high-security printing needs. Recent solicitations show purchasing concentrated in correctional industries (NCR forms, cardstock, and roll stock) and vital records programs (security paper for certificates), with secondary activity in general office supplies bundled with paper products. The Kentucky Department of Corrections, Colorado Department of Corrections, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, and Colorado Correctional Industries represent the primary repeat buyers under this code, each seeking master agreements for multi-part NCR products, carbonless forms, specialty cardstock, and security-grade papers delivered on firm pricing with annual renewal options.

Activity spans Kentucky, Colorado, and Idaho, with additional solicitations in Florida, Texas, California, Michigan, and Illinois. Two representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope: the Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet (RFB75827000001522, posted October 8, 2026, due October 30, 2026) is requesting bids to establish a master agreement for NCR paper products—including 2-, 3-, and 4-part carbonless varieties, specialty papers, envelopes, and adhesive materials—for Luther Luckett Correctional Complex, with evaluation based on discount percentage (45 points), cumulative catalog pricing (45 points), and delivery time (10 points); and the Colorado Department of Corrections (RFQCFAA20260000072, posted June 29, 2026, due July 10, 2026) is requesting quotes for five NCR roll stock items in specified weights and colors for the Colorado Correctional Industries Print Shop, with award to multiple bidders on a periodic-order basis. Correctional agency procurement drives the market; other issuing bodies—school districts (Northside ISD, Parkway, Van Buren) and courts (Los Angeles Superior Court)—solicit related paper products under broader office-supply or printing-services codes rather than security paper specifically, indicating limited direct pursuit opportunities under 14111544 for most vendors outside the correctional and vital-records sectors.
