UNSPSC 44101806: Cash register ribbons

UNSPSC 44101806 Cash register ribbons is a Commodity code that encompasses consumable ribbon supplies for point-of-sale and similar equipment. The recent activity under this code shows state and local governments procuring these items as part of broader maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supply aggregations rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal governments, though the single recent opportunity available reflects a broader MRO procurement that incidentally includes cash register ribbons within a larger basket of consumable supplies such as filters, adhesives, batteries, cleaning products, electrical supplies, fasteners, and tools.

The City of Huntsville, Texas posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for MRO supplies (Bid No. 26-16) on May 14, 2026, with the same date as the response deadline of 2:00 P.M. Central Time. The city estimated annual expenditures at $100,000 across all MRO categories, with contract term extending through September 30, 2026 and four optional one-year renewal periods available through September 30, 2030. Huntsville offered local vendor preference for vendors with storefronts in Huntsville or Walker County, Texas; those without local presence were required to provide FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid. Award was made to the most responsive and responsible bidder offering best value based on percentage discounts off catalog prices, subject to City Council approval and funding availability. Recent opportunities under this code are sparse, suggesting limited standalone demand for cash register ribbons in the state and local procurement market.
