UNSPSC 44102504: Paper and plastic counter

Machine that classifies any type of paper and plastic

UNSPSC 44102504 Paper and plastic counter (Commodity) encompasses cash-handling and payment equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, transit, tax administration, and finance operations. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a mix of currency counters, coin validators, money order machines, and associated payment-processing equipment rather than traditional retail or office paper-supply counters. The issuing bodies are diverse — state agencies (Illinois Secretary of State), regional transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), county finance offices (Marion County Treasurer), and municipal governments (City of Indianapolis) — each buying equipment tailored to their operational cash-handling workflows. The primary use cases include revenue processing at tax collection points, fare collection and equipment repair for transit systems, and currency verification for treasurer offices managing bulk cash deposits.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions. The Illinois Secretary of State posted a Request for Quote on March 24, 2026, for money order machines at 10–12 DMV facilities, with proposals due April 3, 2026. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority issued a Blanket Purchase Order (BPO) for rebuilt Coinco Guardian 6000 XL coin validator repair and upgrade services, due May 6, 2026, requiring site visit attendance and a minimum five years of OEM repair experience from the contractor. The City of Indianapolis and Marion County posted an Informal Request for Quote on March 5, 2026, for seven JetScan 4065 ES money counting machines with 99.99% accuracy capability and new $10 bill reading functionality, due March 11, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment available to multiple jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond, with proposals due June 16, 2026, structured to serve thousands of public entities through a participating addendum framework. No set-asides or incumbent vendors are identified across these recent opportunities.
