UNSPSC 52121602: Napkins

UNSPSC 52121602 Napkins is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers branded promotional items and giveaways, not napkins as the code name suggests. The Illinois Secretary of State has posted multiple RFQs for the Organ Donor Program seeking vendors to supply eight product categories — ink pens, canvas tote bags, tablecloths, state-shaped key tags, silicon wristbands, polyester lanyards, heart-shaped chip clips with magnets, and fold-up frisbee fans — all branded with the "Life Goes On" logo in specified quantities ranging from 500 to 10,000 units per item. State and local governments use this code to procure consumable promotional merchandise and giveaways rather than food-service or facility napkins. Issuing bodies are primarily state executive agencies, specifically the Illinois Secretary of State in the recent opportunities block. Bidders must submit complete quotes addressing all items within a chosen category, maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, carry auto liability coverage of $1 million, and comply with prevailing wage requirements for any union printing work. Delivery is FOB Destination to Springfield with receipt required by August 15, 2026.

The code shows activity exclusively in Illinois to date. The Illinois Secretary of State posted an RFQ (26-350SOS-SOS35-B-52561) with a May 22, 2026 response date and a rebid RFQ (26OD204000 Amendment 3, 26-350SOS-SOS35-B-52714) with a June 4, 2026 response date; the second iteration removed union-shop and "Made in USA" requirements from the predecessor solicitation. Contact Aaron Reuben at areuben@ilsos.gov for questions. The contract term runs from execution through June 30, 2026, with the first opportunity referencing a potential ten-year maximum including renewals. Award is made to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder. Historical pricing information from prior cycle 26-350SOS-ORGAN-B-48433 is available on BidBuy to inform vendor pricing strategies.
