UNSPSC 45101506: Silk screen printing machines

UNSPSC 45101506 Silk screen printing machines is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure screen-printing services rather than the machines themselves. Recent solicitations show buyers engaging screen-printing vendors to produce decorated apparel, promotional items, and bulk communication materials with custom imprinting. The work spans small-batch custom jobs — such as logo application on windbreaker jackets — and high-volume production runs for mailing and fulfillment campaigns. Issuing bodies include state departments (California Department of Fish and Wildlife), municipal agencies (Atlanta Department of Transportation and Department of Watershed Management), and other local service bureaus needing in-house printing capacity or outsourced decorative-print fulfillment to support public communication programs.

Recent activity appears primarily in California and Georgia. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife posted RFQ R6 S2660010 on July 21, 2026, seeking custom screen-printing on 25 windbreaker jackets with quotes due August 4, 2026, requiring Pantone color matching, 1mm registration tolerance, and minimum 300 ppi resolution, with lump-sum pricing inclusive of labor, taxes, and transportation. The Atlanta Department of Transportation and Department of Watershed Management jointly issued IFB/GS/DWM/ATLDOT/2607-1270006 on July 23, 2026, soliciting specialized printing, mailing, and fulfillment services for annual water quality reports, monthly bill inserts, brochures, postcards, and rush printing requests with strict turnaround requirements and delivery coordination, with bids due August 5, 2026. Both solicitations require vendor registration in state procurement systems and compliance with state insurance, certification, and tax-clearance requirements.
