UNSPSC 45131503: Instant picture film

UNSPSC 45131503 Instant picture film is a Commodity code that covers photographic film and related imaging media used by state and local governments. Based on recent solicitation activity, the actual work being procured under this code is narrower than the nominal title suggests: state and local agencies use this code to tag purchases of visual media and licensing for specialized operational needs, including recreational programming and equipment documentation support. The issuing bodies include city procurement departments, special districts, and cooperative purchasing units serving multi-jurisdictional public entities. Counties and municipalities have both appeared in recent postings, often as part of broader cooperative frameworks that aggregate demand across numerous governmental and quasi-governmental organizations.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across Washington state and Texas. The City of Dallas issued an IFB (Solicitation IFSPKRB1800456) on April 24, 2026 for movie licenses to support aquatic center summer programming, with a response deadline of April 30, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP (#061626) posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to participating entities in Washington (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and public bodies nationwide and in Canada. The two solicitations show disparate applications—recreational media licensing and equipment documentation—suggesting the code captures visual-media-related buys across varied operational contexts rather than a consolidated commodity stream. No award values or budget ranges appear in the available documentation for either opportunity.
