UNSPSC 55121613: Color coding labels

UNSPSC 55121613 Color coding labels, a Commodity code, encompasses labels and marking systems used in document management and organizational applications, though the recent state and local solicitations under this code show divergent scope. The City of Madison, Wisconsin's city-wide printing and mailing services RFP (Solicitation 1500802026, due April 3, 2026) is tagged to this code but centers on large-volume printing operations for utility bills and tax notices rather than color coding labels per se. State and local governments procuring under this code appear to be primarily cities and municipalities seeking labeling and color-coding products for organizational, filing, and document-tracking purposes across departments, utilities, and administrative functions. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices managing consolidated printing and document services for multiple internal departments.

Activity under the code concentrates in the upper Midwest, with the City of Madison representing the most recent documented opportunity. The Madison RFP is structured as a two-year initial contract with three optional one-year renewals, evaluated on 65 technical points (including project-overview and project-specific qualifications) and 35 financial points with local vendor preference weighting. Bidders must carry general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), workers' compensation, automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and environmental impairment liability ($2,000,000 per incident), and contractors with 15 or more employees and $50,000 or more in annual business must submit an Affirmative Action Plan within 30 days of execution. The questions deadline is March 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time with answers posted by March 20, 2026. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are identified, and no budget or award value is disclosed.
