UNSPSC 24141600: Cushioning supplies

UNSPSC 24141600 Cushioning supplies is a Class code that in state and local procurement covers miscellaneous warehouse supplies and printing materials, though recent solicitations tagged under this code do not consistently reflect cushioning products themselves. State and local governments buying under this code include independent school districts and municipal departments. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio solicited miscellaneous warehouse supplies via RFP 2026094, due July 9, 2026, with delivery to the district and shipping costs included in proposals. The City of Madison, Wisconsin issued RFP 1500802026 for city-wide printing and mailing services, a two-year initial contract with three one-year renewal options covering dynamic laser printing, document composition, insertion, mail finishing, and envelope storage for the Madison Water Utility and Finance Department Treasury section.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Wisconsin. The Madison RFP, posted March 3, 2026 with an April 3, 2026 response deadline, allocated 65 technical evaluation points (20 for project overview qualifications, 40 for project-specific qualifications, 5 for submission quality) and 35 financial points, with local vendor preference worth 5 financial points. Contractors with 15 or more employees and $50,000 or more in annual aggregate business must submit an Affirmative Action Plan within 30 days of contract execution. Questions deadline was March 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time with answers posted by March 20, 2026. Required insurance included $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence, $1,000,000 automobile liability combined single limit, $2,000,000 environmental impairment liability per incident, and $2,000,000 umbrella liability. The code shows limited recent opportunity volume and inconsistent alignment between the nominal scope (cushioning supplies) and the work actually being solicited.
