UNSPSC 52121603: Table runners

UNSPSC 52121603 Table runners is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement captures branded textiles and promotional merchandise supplied to government agencies for donor programs, public awareness campaigns, and similar initiatives. The Illinois Secretary of State has posted repeated solicitations under this code for promotional items bearing the "Life Goes On" organ donor logo, including navy blue tablecloths alongside complementary merchandise such as ink pens, canvas tote bags, silicon wristbands, polyester lanyards, heart-shaped chip clips, and fold-up frisbee fans. The scope reflects how state procurement offices use table-runner and textile codes to classify a wider array of branded giveaways and wearables rather than table runners in isolation. Issuing bodies are primarily state-level agencies; the Illinois Secretary of State appears as a repeat buyer conducting rebids and predecessor cycles for the same donor-awareness campaign.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois, with two RFQ notices from the Illinois Secretary of State posted in May and June 2026 for the same Organ Donor Program merchandise. The May 18 RFQ (26350SOSSOS35B52561) closed May 22, 2026 and required delivery by August 15, 2026 to Springfield; a rebid RFQ (26350SOSSOS35B52714) posted June 1, 2026 with a June 5 deadline, removing the union-print requirement from the original solicitation. Both solicitations required general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, auto liability coverage, and workers' compensation coverage. Award went to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder submitting pricing for all line items in their chosen category. Vendors should consult prior purchase orders on BidBuy (26-350SOS-ORGAN-P-83663, 83662, 83661, 83660) to inform pricing strategies on future rebids, as the State continues to procure branded promotional textiles for ongoing public health campaigns.
