UNSPSC 45101602: Offset darkroom equipment

UNSPSC 45101602 Offset darkroom equipment is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers school photography services — portrait sessions, yearbook photography, sports and special-event coverage, and graduation services delivered across multiple school sites. The Hillsborough County Public Schools RFQ 19106D-EST-BJH, posted October 12, 2026, exemplifies the work being bought: a district-wide vendor roster for picture services across 254 elementary, middle, and high schools with tiered package offerings and competitive quoting at the school-site level. School districts are the primary issuing body under this code. Vendors must meet baseline qualifications including three years of experience in picture services, general liability insurance with $1 million aggregate and $500,000 per-occurrence limits, and professional references from prior three-year accounts. A $100,000 surety bond applies only when the contractor collects direct student payments. Pricing must include sales tax, delivery, and service fees with a 30% commission structure for evaluation; payment methods must encompass cash, check, money orders, and credit/debit cards with PCI compliance.

The Hillsborough County Public Schools opportunity in Florida represents the primary recent activity identified under this code. Proposals were due July 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM with samples due July 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM under RFQ 19106D-EST-BJH; Addendum 1 was issued July 9, 2026, and questions closed July 16, 2026 at 12:00 PM. The initial contract term extends through January 14, 2030, with HCPS authorized to add vendors annually at its discretion. Individual school sites are encouraged to obtain competitive quotes from a minimum of three pre-qualified firms. The source contains limited additional recent activity; a second record flagged under this code relates to volunteer recruitment for an arts camp and is not a procurement opportunity.
