UNSPSC 31142900: In mold decorated injection moldings

Injection molded components consisting of various plastic materials with the addition of a decorative element placed into some portion of the show surface side of the injection mold prior to injection of the plastic

UNSPSC 31142900 In mold decorated injection moldings is a Class code covering injection molding equipment and related manufacturing machinery procured by state and local entities. The University of Southern Mississippi's Procurement and Contract Services solicited a 110-ton electric injection molding machine in a sealed-bid IFB posted April 26, 2026, with a response deadline of May 12, 2026. The machine specification includes strict technical parameters — a 40mm screw diameter, 171-gram shot size, maximum barrel temperatures of 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and a footprint constraint of 179" by 50" to fit within the Mississippi Polymer Institute Processing Lab and pass through existing doorways. The solicitation requires the winning bidder to provide delivery within 16 weeks, one day of installation and familiarization, three days of training, a minimum one-year warranty commencing after system verification, and lifetime online and on-call technical support, with F.O.B. Destination Freight Allowed pricing and 2% early-payment discount or net 45 days standard.

The recent activity captured under this code is limited to a single, institution-specific opportunity in Mississippi. The University of Southern Mississippi represents the lone recent issuing body, indicating that higher-education procurement of injection molding equipment under this code does not generate frequent or broad-based solicitation activity across state and local jurisdictions. No contract award value or budget is disclosed in the source, and no set-asides or preference programs are mentioned. The narrow scope of recent opportunities — a single equipment purchase by one university — suggests limited current demand for activity under this code in the broader state and local procurement market.
