UNSPSC 44101806: Cash register ribbons

UNSPSC 44101806 Cash register ribbons is a Commodity code that covers specialized supplies for point-of-sale equipment, though state and local governments source this product primarily as part of broader maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) purchasing. The code appears in mixed bundles where cash register ribbons and related supplies are secondary line items within comprehensive facilities and equipment maintenance solicitations rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies using this code include municipal governments seeking to stock MRO inventories across municipal departments and service operations.

The City of Huntsville, Texas issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for MRO supplies (Bid No. 26-16) on May 14, 2026, in which cash register ribbons appeared as one item category within a much larger range of maintenance products including air filters, batteries, cleaning products, electrical supplies, hand tools, HVAC products, lighting supplies, and welding supplies. The contract runs through September 30, 2026, with four optional one-year renewal periods, and the City estimated annual expenditures at $100,000 across all MRO categories. Award was made to the most responsible and responsive bidder offering the best value based on percentage discounts off catalog prices, with the City offering local preference to vendors with storefronts in Huntsville or Walker County, Texas. Vendors without local storefronts were required to provide FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid. Recent activity is sparse under this code — the Huntsville solicitation is the only posted opportunity visible in the dataset, suggesting that cash register ribbons are rarely the primary driver of state and local purchasing and that opportunities under this code are typically embedded within larger, multi-category MRO bundles rather than issued as focused procurements.
