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 is a Commodity code that covers employee and service recognition awards — physical items such as plaques, certificates, gift selections, and commemorative pieces presented to mark employment milestones and organizational recognition. State and local governments use this code to procure recognition programs that combine award merchandise with accompanying documentation such as personalized certificates or congratulatory materials. Issuing bodies span county purchasing departments, municipal governments, and administrative agencies seeking to formalize employee recognition at defined service intervals. The work typically involves vendor-managed catalogs offering multiple design and price-point options, direct shipment to recipients, and administrative support for certificate generation and program coordination.

Recent activity shows solicitations from Walworth County, Wisconsin and the City of Austin, Texas. Walworth County issued an RFP (26-069) with a due date of July 20, 2026 for an employee recognition awards program covering service milestones from one year through 50 years, requiring a minimum of six products across at least five price categories, personalized certificates, electronic catalogs, and direct shipment to employee homes; the County projected approximately 254 recipients in 2027 with contract award anticipated by September 18, 2026 and a one-year initial term with four optional renewals effective January 1, 2027. The City of Austin solicited service awards via IFB 5000RBB1012 with proposals due June 30, 2026, though the scope details remain limited in available source material. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in the Upper Midwest and Texas, with no material geographic concentration. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should expect multi-year contracts with renewal options, insurance and experience-verification requirements, and payment structures tied to actual award distribution rather than advance commitments.
