UNSPSC 44121511: Mailing boxes

UNSPSC 44121511 Mailing boxes is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply of boxes and shipping containers used in bulk mailing and document distribution operations. State and local governments procure mailing boxes primarily as components of larger printing and mailing services contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies include city governments, county offices, and water utilities that operate high-volume printing and mail finishing operations serving tax billing, utility billing, and law enforcement functions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, also solicits under this code on behalf of its participating entities across multiple states and jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities reflect the integration of mailing boxes into turnkey printing and mailing service packages. The City of Madison, Wisconsin issued an RFP (Solicitation 1500802026) due April 3, 2026, for city-wide printing and mailing services that includes envelope storage and mail finishing for approximately 580,000 pieces printed weekly by Madison Water Utility and 127,000 pieces monthly for tax billing by the Finance Department. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington, multiple counties, and organizations throughout the United States and Canada, with submission required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Activity is concentrated in Wisconsin and the Pacific Northwest, with geographic reach extending through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative framework.
