UNSPSC 41122700: Laboratory tapes and labels

UNSPSC 41122700 Laboratory tapes and labels is a Class code covering custom file folders, numeric and color-coded labels, year labels, and expandable storage folders that state and local governments source for records management, evidence tracking, and administrative operations. The work being solicited under this code reflects practical procurement for law enforcement, coroner operations, crime laboratories, and general government filing systems rather than specialized laboratory consumables; vendors must supply products to custom specifications with delivery to multiple locations and maintain commercial liability insurance. Issuing bodies span county sheriff and coroner departments, crime laboratories, and other county administrative offices.

The code shows recent activity in California, where the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner issued IFB #0603015801MB on June 25, 2026, for file folders and labels with a response deadline of March 26, 2026. The bid solicits nine product categories including custom-printed reinforced end-tab folders, unlabeled folders with numeric strips, expandable folders in 3-inch and 5-inch sizes, year labels in ten color variations, and single- and two-digit number labels, with approximate annual usage ranging from 200 to 24,000 units across categories and delivery required to the Coroner Division and OC Crime Lab. Award goes to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; the County of Orange offers a five percent price preference to bidders certified as County of Orange Local Small Business (OCLSB) or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE), with a maximum preference deduction of $100,000. The contract term is three calendar years with an option to renew for two additional years, and a cooperative purchasing provision allows other governmental and nonprofit entities to use the contract at the same terms with a two percent administrative rebate paid quarterly to the County.
