UNSPSC 44102104: Stamp canceling machines

UNSPSC 44102104 Stamp canceling machines (Commodity) encompasses mail processing equipment and related services that state and local governments use to manage high-volume mail operations, though recent solicitations show the code capturing broader mailing and shipping service contracts rather than stamp-canceling machinery specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Dayton Public Schools, Collin County Community College District), municipalities (City of Madison, Wisconsin), state procurement offices (State of Arizona, State of Nevada), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (TIPS USA, NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell). The scope of work being procured includes comprehensive printing and bulk mailing services with digital and offset printing, variable data printing, mail finishing (folding, binding, collating), USPS-compliant mail preparation, envelope insertion, and postage management. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Madison RFP for city-wide printing and mailing services (posted March 3, 2026, due April 3, 2026) supporting approximately 580,000 pieces weekly for Madison Water Utility and 127,000 pieces monthly for Finance Department tax bills; Dayton Public Schools RFP 26-009 (posted March 2, 2026, due March 23, 2026) for printing and bulk mailing services with estimated annual volumes of 75,000 pages black-and-white, 100,000 pages color, and 350,000 pieces bulk mail presort; and Collin County Community College District ITB FY2025ITB035 (posted July 7, 2026, due August 25, 2025) for newsletter mailings in 300,000 to 500,000 piece quantities over a three-year term.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Minnesota through recent state and local procurement postings. Arizona's NASPO ValuePoint RFP BPM007409 (posted June 23, 2026, due June 23, 2026) and Nevada's corresponding informational RFP (posted May 12, 2026, due June 23, 2026) represent multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles offering vendors access to thousands of governmental entities across all 50 states. The cooperative purchasing structure is prominent in this code's activity, with TIPS USA (Texas cooperative, posted July 2, 2026) and Sourcewell (Minnesota-based cooperative, posted May 12, 2026) both soliciting for statewide and multi-jurisdictional vendor lists. Dayton Public Schools and City of Madison represent direct municipal and school-district procurement, while the three cooperative vehicles indicate significant opportunity for vendors to serve multiple state and local customers through single master agreements. Most opportunities require FERPA compliance, secure file handling, comprehensive insurance (typically $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence), and in some cases community inclusion or small-business participation goals; several impose location constraints (Collin County's 75-mile vendor radius) or enforce set-aside requirements (Dayton's 20 percent EDBE and 25 percent local workforce participation mandates).
