UNSPSC 52121607: Table skirts

UNSPSC 52121607 Table skirts is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice spans promotional merchandise and event giveaways rather than hospitality linens alone. The Illinois Secretary of State has posted multiple RFQs for branded promotional items under the Organ Donor Program, including navy blue tablecloths (10–12 units) alongside ink pens, canvas tote bags, key tags, silicon wristbands, lanyards, chip clips, and frisbee fans — all bearing the "Life Goes On" logo. State purchasing offices appear to be the primary issuing body under this code, at least in current activity. Vendors must carry $1 million per occurrence / $2 million annual aggregate general commercial liability, auto liability coverage, and worker's compensation insurance. Illinois prevailing wage requirements apply to printing and production services, and standard state certifications (equal opportunity, drug-free workplace, statutory compliance) are mandatory. Award is made to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder.

Activity under the code concentrates in Illinois, with two recent solicitations posted by the Illinois Secretary of State in May and June 2026. The earlier RFQ (26-350SOS-SOS35-B-52561, due May 22, 2026) required union print-shop production and included a "Made in USA" requirement; a rebid (26OD204000 / 26350SOSSOS35B52714, due June 4, 2026) removed both the union mandate and the domestic-sourcing requirement to broaden the bidder pool. All items must be delivered by August 15, 2026, FOB Destination to Springfield. The contract term runs through June 30, 2026, with the predecessor solicitation cycle offering historical pricing data via prior purchase orders on BidBuy to inform current bids.
