UNSPSC 45131508: Negative film

A film that displays the image with the same color with the actual object only when developed on the printing paper. It is the film to display with the negative image with opposite of black and white when printing the film after shooting with the color of the subject in complementary color.

UNSPSC 45131508 Negative film, a Commodity code, encompasses motion picture production materials and licensing services that state and local governments procure for public facilities, visitor centers, and recreational programming. Recent activity shows state and local buyers soliciting both professional video production services (where negative film and raw footage are components of larger deliverables) and movie licensing for public exhibition. The issuing bodies include state departments of natural resources, municipal recreation and aquatics divisions, and cooperative purchasing consortia aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Work under this code ranges from commissioning original cinematography and post-production services with intellectual property retention by the government entity, to licensing commercially available films for public screenings at recreation centers and visitor facilities.

The South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks issued RFP 26RFP19872 on August 10, 2026 (due August 28, 2026) for professional video production services to develop a 15–20 minute introductory film in 4K resolution for Custer State Park Visitor Center, with a contract value not to exceed $500,000 and completion targeted for January 3, 2028. The City of Dallas issued IFB IFSPKRB1800456 on April 24, 2026 (due April 30, 2026) for movie licenses to screen nine films across nine aquatic centers during summer 2026 programming. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment that, while technically tagged to this code, shows a clear mismatch between the nominal scope and actual procurement intent. Geographic activity centers on South Dakota, Texas, and Minnesota, with the Sourcewell cooperative extending potential reach across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions. The code shows limited recent state and local activity directly aligned to its nominal scope of negative film materials.
