UNSPSC 45131502: Black and white film

UNSPSC 45131502 Black and white film is a Commodity code, though recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code does not align with its nominal product scope. The three solicitations posted between April and August 2026 involve video production services, law enforcement equipment procurement, and movie licensing — none of which represent black and white film as a discrete product or supply item. The mismatch suggests either tagging errors in the underlying procurement records or a divergence between the code's historical definition and current procurement practice in the state and local sector.

The recent opportunities span South Dakota (South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks seeking video production for a visitor center introductory film, RFP #26RFP19872, due August 28, 2026), Minnesota and Washington (Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment, RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026), and Texas (City of Dallas purchasing movie licenses for aquatic facility summer programming, IFB #IFSPKRB1800456, due April 30, 2026). The issuing bodies include a state natural-resources agency, a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple counties and jurisdictions, and a city government. Given the absence of solicitations for discrete black and white film stock or supplies under this code in the recent block, the code shows little relevant activity for vendors focused on film products or related supplies.
