UNSPSC 49101709: Memorial tablet

A type of tablet made to commemorate a certain special event or to express appreciation. Can come in various shapes.

UNSPSC 49101709 Memorial tablet (Commodity) covers custom recognition items and awards supplied to state and local agencies, school districts, and municipalities, though recent activity shows the code capturing a broader set of recognition and incentive products including trophies, plaques, certificates, service awards, commendation ribbons, and championship rings alongside traditional memorial tablets and markers. State and local buyers under this code include independent school districts (Donna ISD, Los Fresnos CISD, Klein ISD, Fulton County Schools), county governments (Walworth County, Broward County), municipalities (City of Austin, City of Dallas, District of Columbia, City of Detroit), and higher-education institutions (Texas Southern University). School districts dominate recent solicitation volume, procuring employee and student recognition awards, championship rings, and spirit-wear items; counties and cities solicit service awards programs, historic markers, and ceremonial ribbons; and universities seek promotional merchandise and awards on an as-needed basis. Walworth County and Los Fresnos CISD, among others, have issued multiple recognition-award solicitations establishing multi-vendor lists rather than single awards, signaling ongoing purchasing in this space.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Michigan, and the District of Columbia. In Texas, Donna ISD issued RFP 011326-866 (posted March 21, 2026, due April 8, 2026) for awards, trophies, and promotional items on a catalog-discount basis for the 2026–2027 school year; Los Fresnos CISD posted RFP 262703 (February 18, due March 26, 2026) for awards, trophies, and printing services with multiple-award intent; and Fulton County Schools, Georgia, issued RFQ 178-26 (January 22, due February 5, 2026) for football championship rings and pendants for Creekside High School.
