UNSPSC 60101606: Diplomas

UNSPSC 60101606 Diplomas, a Commodity code, covers printing and production of diplomas, certificates, and related credentialing documents that state and local governments procure for educational institutions and administrative agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect broader printing services for educational institutions, including diploma covers, diploma inserts, certificates, championship rings and pendants, yearbooks, and related commemorative items for K–12 school districts and community colleges. The work encompasses design customization, material selection (including security features, gold foil accents, and premium paper stocks), quantity management across multiple schools, and delivery logistics. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, community college districts, county school systems, and county purchasing offices across Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and California. Community college districts in Texas—particularly Collin County Community College District—appear as repeat buyers, soliciting printing contracts for business collateral, brochures, booklets, and general print services on three-year terms.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Collin County Community College District, Klein Independent School District, Donna Independent School District, Magnolia Independent School District, Denton County) and includes active procurement in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Georgia (Fulton County Schools), New Jersey (Motor Vehicle Commission), and California (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include Collin County Community College District's ITB FY2024ITB025 for business collateral printing (due April 18, 2024), Denton County's ITB 26-2914 for printed materials including certificates on an as-needed basis (due June 4, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFP 4159 for diploma covers, diploma inserts, and yearbooks for six high schools with delivery by May 1, 2026 (proposals due April 21, 2026), and Fulton County Schools' RFQ 178-26 for football championship rings and pendants for Creekside High School (due February 5, 2026). The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission procurement (Bid 26DPP01318 for Title Forms, due August 7, 2026) represents a high-volume, security-intensive commodity opportunity at an estimated contract value of $1.2 million over three years with optional two-year extensions.
