UNSPSC 55121600: Labels

UNSPSC 55121600 Labels, a Class code, encompasses office supply labels and label-related products that state and local governments procure for internal operations and record management. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both discrete label purchases and broader printing-and-labeling bundles: the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner is seeking file folders and an array of labels (year labels in ten color variations, two-digit and single-digit number labels, color-coded labels) for evidence and records management, while the City of Madison is bundling label production into a wider printing and mailing services contract serving utility billing and tax notice workflows. State and local issuing bodies under this code span county sheriffs' offices, municipal finance and utility departments, and similar administrative units with high-volume document and records workflows. The work itself ranges from off-the-shelf label supply to custom-printed folders with integrated labeling, and contractors must often support multi-location delivery with specifications tailored to agency record-keeping and filing systems.

Geographic activity centers on California and Wisconsin in the most recent opportunities, though the code likely extends across administrative jurisdictions nationwide wherever records management and document processing demand labels and filing supplies. The County of Orange IFB (0603015801MB), due March 26, 2026, seeks nine product categories with annual usage including 15,000 custom-printed folders and variable label quantities, with a three-year term and optional two-year renewal; award will apply a five percent price preference for County of Orange Local Small Business (OCLSB) or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certified vendors, capped at $100,000 maximum preference deduction, and the contract includes a cooperative purchasing clause. The City of Madison RFP (1500802026), due April 3, 2026, combines label production within broader printing services for approximately 580,000 pieces weekly from the Water Utility and 127,000 monthly from Finance, allocating 65 technical points and 35 financial points with a five-point local vendor preference; the contract runs two years with three optional one-year renewals. Both solicitations require robust insurance (general liability of $1,000,000 or higher) and enforce pricing constraints against price increases or discounts offered to competitors.
