UNSPSC 55121618: Label holders

UNSPSC 55121618 Label holders is a Commodity code that, in recent state and local procurement, encompasses printing supplies and materials used in document processing and mailing operations rather than label holders in the literal sense. The City of Madison, Wisconsin's March 2026 RFP for city-wide printing and mailing services illustrates the actual scope: the solicitation covers dynamic laser printing, document composition, insertion, mail finishing, color and monochrome printing, and envelope storage for high-volume municipal operations. State and local governments procure under this code to support administrative functions requiring printed materials, tax bills, delinquency notices, and utility communications. Issuing bodies are typically city and county administrative departments managing centralized printing and document services, often bundled with mailing and finishing operations to consolidate procurement and reduce overhead.

The Madison opportunity, due April 3, 2026, demonstrates activity in the Upper Midwest. The City is seeking qualified bidders to replace an expiring contract serving the Madison Water Utility (approximately 580,000 pieces printed weekly) and the Finance Department Treasury section (approximately 127,000 pieces monthly for tax and property notices). The RFP awards 65 technical points based on project overview qualifications, project-specific qualifications, and submission quality, and 35 financial points covering cost and local vendor preference. Contractors with 15 or more employees and annual aggregate business of $50,000 or more must submit an Affirmative Action Plan within 30 days of contract execution. The resulting contract runs two years with three optional one-year renewals. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are identified. Beyond this recent Madison solicitation, the source provides no additional recent opportunities or geographic spread across other jurisdictions.
