UNSPSC 45101900: Printing laboratory equipment and accessories

UNSPSC 45101900 Printing laboratory equipment and accessories is a Class code capturing commercial-grade printing equipment, accessories, and associated services that state and local governments procure to support or establish internal print operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing production equipment such as high-speed automatic punch machines, hydraulic paper drilling equipment, and interchangeable dies, bundled with equipment delivery, installation, operator training, and maintenance service contracts. The mix of issuing bodies soliciting under this code includes state agencies, though the recent-opportunities block shows limited activity — a single Texas Workforce Commission IFB represents the visible current market.

The Texas Workforce Commission issued IFB 3202700010 on March 11, 2026, for print shop equipment including an ultra high-speed automatic punch (punching speeds of 70, 80, or 90 cycles per minute, dual voltage capability, reference brands James Burn EX610 and JBi Alpha-Doc MK4) and a hydraulic three-spindle paper drill with adjustable stroke rates up to 18 per minute. Bids were due April 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, with electronic submission to VendorProposals@TWC.texas.gov and an anticipated contract start in May 2026. The TWC procurement includes interchangeable dies, maintenance and service contracts, equipment setup, training, and delivery and installation services under firm-fixed pricing. Eligible vendors may claim Texas-based vendor preference, service-disabled veteran preference, recycled or environmentally sensitive material preference, energy-efficient product preference, and economically depressed or blighted area vendor preference. Successful bidders must carry Commercial General Liability coverage with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, maintain Workers' Compensation insurance at statutory limits, and comply with E-Verify, Davis-Bacon Act, and Buy America requirements where applicable.
