UNSPSC 44101604: Base protection boards

UNSPSC 44101604 Base protection boards, a Commodity code, covers flat printing services for promotional and informational materials that state and local governments commission — door hangers, pamphlets, signage, and similar printed collateral. The City of Philadelphia's Procurement Department is the primary issuer under this code in the recent record, posting multiple competitive flat printing bids through its PHLContracts portal. Work solicited includes printing for public safety initiatives (gun violence prevention door hangers), wellness promotion (resource fair pamphlets), and community outreach materials (KWSC door hangers). Bidders submit unit costs and optional volume discounts for each line item, with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a whole-contract or line-item basis at the City's discretion. The Local Business Entity Program does not apply to these flat printing procurements, though bidders must answer LBE certification questions to proceed through submission.

The City of Philadelphia dominates recent activity under this code; all four opportunities in the record are Philadelphia municipal purchases posted between April and June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the OPS Gun Violence Door Hangers solicitation (B2727382, RFQ, due June 30, 2026), the Wellness Resource Pamphlet solicitation (B2626990, RFQ, due April 30, 2026), and the KWSC Door Hangers solicitation (B2626941, RFQ, due April 29, 2026). All are issued through the City of Philadelphia Procurement Department and follow the same submission protocol via PHLContracts.phila.gov, requiring completion of General, Items, Questions, Terms & Conditions, Attachments, and Summary tabs before final submission. The source provides no other states or jurisdictions; geographic activity is concentrated in Pennsylvania.
