UNSPSC 45101608: Silk screen screens

UNSPSC 45101608 Silk screen screens (Commodity) captures screen-printed apparel and customized textile components for uniformed services and municipal operations. State and local governments procure embroidered hats, Velcro name tags, screen-printed fatigue uniforms, and related gear through this code, alongside broader printing services that incorporate silk-screen finishing techniques. Issuing bodies include city fire departments, water utilities, finance departments, and municipal procurement offices sourcing apparel for emergency services compliance and administrative uniform requirements.
