UNSPSC 55121609: Packaging labels

UNSPSC 55121609 Packaging labels, a Commodity code, encompasses custom-printed file folders, expandable folders, and adhesive labels that state and local agencies purchase for records management, case documentation, and administrative filing. State and local governments buying under this code include county sheriff and coroner departments, county probate and vital records offices, and other county administrative and operational divisions. The work involves sourcing and delivering standardized or custom-specified filing products in bulk quantities, with vendors typically providing multiple product variants—such as year labels in multiple colors, numeric labels, reinforced end-tab folders, and expandable folders in various depths—to meet departmental workflow needs. Delivery to multiple departmental locations and compliance with custom specifications, including lift-gate delivery capabilities where required, are common requirements.

The code shows recent activity in California and Georgia. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner (California) issued an IFB in June 2026 for file folders and labels across nine product categories with annual usage including 15,000 custom-printed folders, 5,000 expanding folders combined, and variable quantities of year labels and color-coded labels; the three-year contract includes a five percent price preference for County of Orange Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certified bidders, and a cooperative purchasing provision allows other governmental entities to use the same terms at a two percent administrative rebate. Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services, Purchasing Division (Georgia) issued an IWQ in July 2026 for stamp and seal machines with custom plates and seals for the Probate Court and Vital Records departments, with delivery to the Probate Court by July 29, 2026; while nominally tagged to packaging labels, this opportunity reflects the broader administrative and records-management filing and identification function that the code captures.
