UNSPSC 45101510: Flexographic printer

UNSPSC 45101510 Flexographic printer is a Commodity code representing equipment and services for high-volume, multicolor printing on flexible substrates, but recent state and local activity under this code centers on dynamic document printing, composition, insertion, and mailing services rather than equipment procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code span municipal departments and public utilities seeking comprehensive printing solutions for high-volume transactional documents — tax bills, delinquency notices, utility bills, and administrative correspondence. The scope includes laser and digital color and monochrome printing, document composition, mail finishing, envelope storage, and insertion services, with bidders typically evaluated on technical qualifications (project overview and project-specific experience), submission quality, cost, and local vendor preference factors.

The City of Madison, Wisconsin is the identified recent buyer under this code, issuing RFP 1500802026 for city-wide printing and mailing services with a response deadline of April 3, 2026. The solicitation targets two primary clients — Madison Water Utility (approximately 580,000 pieces printed weekly) and the Finance Department Treasury section (approximately 127,000 pieces printed monthly for property tax bills and delinquency notices). The resulting contract runs two years with three optional one-year renewals, with pricing submitted on an all-inclusive, not-to-exceed fixed-fee basis by task or project function. Insurance requirements include general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation, automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, environmental impairment liability of $2,000,000 per incident, and umbrella liability of $2,000,000. No specific budget or set-asides are disclosed; local vendor preference accounts for 5 of 35 available financial points.
