UNSPSC 45101506: Silk screen printing machines

UNSPSC 45101506 Silk screen printing machines, a Commodity code, sees minimal state and local solicitation activity tied directly to the equipment itself. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect downstream applications of screen printing capability rather than procurement of the machines—one for custom-printed and embroidered uniforms and gear for emergency services, and another for city-wide printing and mailing services that may include color and monochrome printing but does not specify screen printing equipment purchases. State and local governments use this code infrequently when buying silk screen printing machinery directly; the tagged opportunities suggest that demand for screen-printed goods (tactical apparel, embroidered headwear) may drive occasional need for equipment or outsourced printing services, but the primary buying pattern under this code does not surface clearly in recent activity.

The City of Phoenix Fire Department issued RFQ-26-0058 on March 26, 2026, seeking battle dress uniforms, fatigue t-shirts, Velcro name tags, gear bags, and embroidered hats with screen printing and embroidery customization, due April 16, 2026, for a five-year contract commencing June 27, 2026. The City of Madison, Wisconsin issued RFP 1500802026 on March 3, 2026, for city-wide printing and mailing services including dynamic laser printing and color and monochrome output, due April 3, 2026, with an initial two-year term and three one-year renewal options. Recent activity concentrates in Arizona and Wisconsin with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration. The code shows limited decision relevance for vendors seeking state and local silk screen printing equipment opportunities; prospective bidders should consider that actual demand may cluster in apparel customization and printing services rather than in machine sales.
