UNSPSC 45101606: Offset film processors

UNSPSC 45101606 Offset film processors is a Commodity code that covers photographic services and picture-related equipment, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on school photography services — senior portraits, yearbook photography, special event coverage, and sports photography — rather than offset film processing equipment or supplies. Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida is the primary recent buyer, soliciting pre-qualified vendors through RFQ 19106D-EST-BJH to provide picture services across approximately 254 school sites, including elementary, middle, and high schools. The scope requires vendors to deliver tiered package options at varying price points for student populations ranging from 350 to 1,800 students per school, with services spanning senior portraits, yearbook pictures, panoramic and team sports packages, special event photography, and graduation services. Vendors must accept cash, check, money orders, and credit and debit cards with PCI compliance, and must meet minimum qualifications including three years of picture-services experience, current licensing, general liability insurance with $1 million aggregate and $500,000 per-occurrence limits, and three professional references from the previous three years. A $100,000 surety bond is required only if the contractor collects direct payments from students. The contract structure allows HCPS to add pre-qualified vendors every twelve months through January 14, 2030, with individual school sites encouraged to obtain competitive quotes from a minimum of three pre-qualified firms.

The Hillsborough County Public Schools RFQ is the only clearly relevant recent opportunity under this code; a second posting by Houston Community College System for volunteer recruitment at an arts gallery in July 2026 does not constitute a procurement opportunity. Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida based on the single substantive solicitation. Proposals for the HCPS picture-services RFQ were due July 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM, with samples due July 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM; Addendum 1 was issued July 9, 2026, and questions closed July 16, 2026 at 12:00 PM. Vendors previously awarded under prior RFQs (19106, 19106A, 19106B, or 19106C) are not required to resubmit. HCPS reserves the right to make multiple awards and is not bound to award based on lowest price alone. This code shows limited recent activity at the state and local level, with school-district photography services as the primary use case observed.
