UNSPSC 45131510: Photographic dye

A substance which is used in coloring or mixing color on the black/white or color printing paper or film.

UNSPSC 45131510 Photographic dye, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026—does not target photographic dye or related chemical supplies; instead, it solicits equipment solutions for law enforcement use across multiple jurisdictions. The code's abstract definition does not match the work actually being procured, suggesting either a tagging error by the issuing cooperative or a marginal fit between the scope of work and the UNSPSC classification applied.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative operating under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), issued the RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties, with the contract structure designed to serve thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, nonprofits, tribal governments, and public entities across the United States and Canada. Geographic reach spans Washington state and beyond, though the recent-opportunities block provides no additional state or regional concentration data specific to photographic dye procurement. The absence of supplementary recent solicitations under this code suggests limited current demand at the state and local level for this commodity class.
