UNSPSC 25172610: License plate

A placard usually made of metal attached to a vehicle to provide legal identification

UNSPSC 25172610 License plate, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of thermal security validation stickers and registration cards for motor vehicle administration — specifically, state-issued stickers with anti-counterfeiting features and multi-year durability designed to verify vehicle registration status. State and local governments buy these products primarily through their departments of corrections and motor vehicle divisions to support vehicle registration enforcement and fraud prevention. Recent solicitations under this code show demand for high-specification retroreflective stickers with directional security marks, two-year service life, and resistance to wet abrasion and common automotive solvents. The Rhode Island Department of Corrections has been the primary issuing body visible in recent activity, procuring these stickers in high volume (500,000 units per award) under multi-year renewable contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Rhode Island, where the Department of Corrections issued two consecutive RFQs for thermal security validation stickers — RFQ26006465, posted April 6, 2026 with bids due May 4, 2026, and RFQ26006677, posted May 27, 2026 with bids due June 24, 2026. Both solicitations require single, firm unit pricing across a 12-month initial period plus four optional 12-month renewals, F.O.B. destination with inside delivery included, and pre-qualification evidence of at least three existing contracts with similar thermal transfer systems in other jurisdictions. Vendors must carry general liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation of $100,000 per accident, and automobile liability of $1 million per occurrence; the State withholds a 0.33% contract administrative fee from invoices. Rhode Island's Minority Business Enterprise policy requires a minimum 15% participation of total contract value. All proposals must be submitted electronically through Ocean State Procures; sample stickers are mandatory, and failure to submit them results in automatic disqualification.
