UNSPSC 52121606: Place mats

UNSPSC 52121606 Place mats is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag promotional merchandise and giveaway items, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of branded apparel, accessories, and novelty goods rather than place mats specifically. The Illinois Secretary of State has posted two RFQs (one rebid) for the Organ Donor Program seeking eight product categories: ink pens, canvas tote bags, navy blue 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. State and local procurement offices use this code when sourcing merchandise for agency awareness campaigns, special events, or stakeholder engagement programs. The issuing body in recent activity is a state-level department (the Illinois Secretary of State), suggesting the code may see use across state agencies for promotional procurement, though the recent-opportunities block shows no activity from counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities.

The geographic spread is limited to Illinois based on the available recent opportunities. The Illinois Secretary of State posted its first RFQ (26-350SOS-SOS35-B-52561) on May 18, 2026 with a May 22 response deadline, requiring delivery by August 15, 2026 to Springfield with award to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder; this solicitation initially required union printing and "Made in USA" compliance. The same agency rebid the procurement as RFQ 26OD204000 (Amended 3), posted June 1, 2026 with a June 4 response deadline, removing the union requirement to broaden bidder participation. Both solicitations specify firm pricing for each line item, standard Illinois certifications including prevailing wage compliance for printing, and $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate general commercial liability insurance. The contract term runs through June 30, 2026 with no renewal in the rebid version, though the original solicitation allowed renewal options up to ten years total.
