UNSPSC 60101606: Diplomas

UNSPSC 60101606 Diplomas (Commodity) covers custom-printed diplomas and related graduation materials that state and local governments, primarily school districts, procure for graduating students. The work encompasses design, printing, and delivery of diplomas, diploma covers, medallions, and related graduation items to support annual graduation ceremonies. School districts issue the bulk of solicitations under this code, typically through RFQ or IFB processes to serve graduating cohorts ranging from hundreds to thousands of students annually.

Recent activity centers in Texas and California. Anaheim City School District posted RFQ 2027-07 for custom medallions, diplomas, covers, and related items for approximately 5,000 graduating seniors across 12 schools, with proposals due October 6, 2026. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued RFP 2026-115 for graduation regalia and diploma materials with a September 10, 2026 response deadline, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all current vendors to respond to continue business with the District. The code shows limited recent activity; most of the opportunities block contains tangentially related printing work (business collateral, brochures, newsletters, and motor vehicle title forms) rather than diploma-specific procurement. Firms pursuing this code should focus on school district purchasing offices and monitor education procurement channels in high-enrollment districts.
