UNSPSC 45101518: Printing plate press

A machine that transfers the stains like ink and others on to the paper, cloth, leather, plastic and others by applying the pressure. It has the structure of upper and lower plates, temperature adjusting equipment and others.

UNSPSC 45101518 Printing plate press, a Commodity code, covers printing services and production work that state and local governments buy for high-volume communication materials, school photography services, and specialized fulfillment. The recent opportunities solicited under this code, however, reveal a disconnect between the nominal code name and actual procurement: the largest recent activity centers on photography services (school portraits, yearbook pictures, sports photography) and specialized printing with mailing fulfillment rather than printing plate presses themselves. Issuing bodies include school districts and municipal service departments. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida is a standout repeat buyer, maintaining an ongoing pre-qualified vendor list for picture services across its approximately 254 school sites with rolling annual additions authorized through January 2030.

HCPS and the City of Atlanta (Department of Transportation and Department of Watershed Management) represent the recent geographic activity. HCPS posted RFQ 19106D-EST-BJH on October 12, 2026, seeking pre-qualified photography vendors with response due July 30, 2026, requiring three years of experience, general liability insurance of $1 million aggregate and $500,000 per occurrence, and a $100,000 surety bond if collecting direct student payments; the initial contract term runs through January 14, 2030, with Addendum 1 issued July 9, 2026. Atlanta issued IFB/GS/DWM/ATLDOT/2607-1270006 on July 23, 2026, requesting specialized printing, mailing, and fulfillment services for water quality reports, bill inserts, brochures, postcards, and letters with response due August 5, 2026; vendor registration on atlsuppliers.com is mandatory to access full solicitation details and submit.
