UNSPSC 44103111: Ink rolls

UNSPSC 44103111 Ink rolls (Commodity) covers consumable printing supplies—ink cartridges, toner cartridges, and paper—that state and local governments procure regularly to support office operations, court systems, elections administration, and district-wide printing needs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing OEM toner and inkjet cartridges from HP, Canon, Xerox, Lexmark, and other manufacturers; Noritsu printer supplies and specialty products like DYMO label printers; and high-volume copy paper for institutional delivery. The issuing bodies span state government offices (California, Illinois, Mississippi), county purchasing departments (Gwinnett County, Collin County, Denton County, Los Angeles County Superior Court), independent school districts (Northside ISD, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Tacoma School District No. 10, Los Fresnos CISD), and municipal departments (Philadelphia, Madison). School districts and counties appear as frequent repeat buyers, with districts typically consolidating expiring agreements into single multi-year procurements to streamline vendor management and maintain supply continuity. State procurement offices use this category to establish statewide contracts serving multiple agencies and eligible governmental entities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Northside ISD, Austin ISD, Los Fresnos CISD, Denton County, Collin County), California (State of California RFB for OEM toner, Los Angeles County Superior Court, Tacoma School District), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Columbia County School District), and Illinois (Attorney General's office, State Police). Representative opportunities include the State of California's July 2026 RFB for OEM toner cartridges across multiple manufacturers (HP, Canon, Xerox) with bids due July 24, 2026; Northside Independent School District's July 2026 IFB consolidating two expiring printing supply contracts with bids due July 30, 2026; the City of Philadelphia's July 2026 micro-purchase for Noritsu printer supplies and ink with quotes due July 18, 2026; Rockwood School District's May 2026 RFB for OEM HP toner cartridges on a five-year term with bids due May 22, 2026 and board approval anticipated June 16, 2026; and Gwinnett County's February 2026 IFB for 177 line items of HP toner and inkjet cartridges plus miscellaneous items from other manufacturers with bids due February 13, 2026. Pricing structures range from firm, fixed-price unit bids to percentage discounts off manufacturer suggested retail price, with delivery typically FOB Destination and contract terms spanning one to five years with optional renewals.
