UNSPSC 23151901: Cutters

UNSPSC 23151901 Cutters, a Commodity code, covers specialized printing and graphics equipment — primarily flatbed cutters and industrial paper cutters — that state and local governments acquire for in-house production and print-shop operations. The recent solicitations document school districts and county governments purchasing turnkey cutting systems bundled with installation, operator training, software licensing, and warranty coverage. The Volusia County School Board's two Apex flatbed cutter ITBs and Sarasota County's MBM Triumph paper cutter RFQ show that public agencies are buying integrated systems rather than blades or components alone; these are capital equipment acquisitions for centralized print operations serving internal departments and, in some cases, external customers.

Activity under the code concentrates in Florida, with Volusia County School Board (Apex 2516 Pro and Apex 2516 Plus flatbed cutters, ITBs posted September 2026 with January 2026 bid deadline and 1.8-kilowatt configuration) and Sarasota County (MBM Triumph 7260 paper cutter, Quick Quote posted April 2026, April 24 deadline) driving recent volume. Both jurisdictions required authorized-distributor status, F.O.B. destination delivery to specified addresses, on-site training, and comprehensive one-year warranties. Volusia's first ITB (ITB 2025-9048-EK) was cancelled in August 2025 to revise specifications after six vendors bid; the reissued ITB (2025-9051-JD) drew three bids by January 7, 2026 from B&C Graphics LLC, Govmark LLC, and IT Devices Online, Inc. Sarasota County's Quick Quote capped the purchase at $50,000 with an option to continue buying at the quoted unit price for up to one year post-award. Neither jurisdiction designated set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, though Sarasota required E-Verify compliance and compliance certifications on boycotts of specified countries.
