UNSPSC 60101609: Grade specific certificates

UNSPSC 60101609 Grade specific certificates is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure printed materials including graduation regalia, diploma covers, business cards, letterhead, envelopes, forms, brochures, booklets, newsletters, postcards, and certificates. The actual work solicited spans both specialized educational documents—such as diplomas and graduation-related materials—and general business printing collateral. Issuing bodies range across school districts, county community colleges, state departments, counties, and cities. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio is actively renewing its diploma and graduation regalia contract; Collin County Community College District has issued multiple three-year printing contracts covering business materials, brochures, booklets, and newsletters; Denton County solicited business printing including certificates and business cards; and the New Jersey Department of the Treasury sought specialized motor vehicle title forms. The breadth of issuing bodies and the variety of material types suggest the code captures generalist printing procurement across multiple public sectors.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Jersey. Collin County Community College District alone has posted at least three overlapping three-year printing contracts—FY2024ITB025 (business collateral, due April 18, 2024), FY2025ITB024 (brochures and booklets, due June 3, 2025), and FY2025ITB034 (general print services including newsletters and postcards, due August 12, 2025)—indicating sustained and layered printing demand at that institution. Northside Independent School District posted RFP2026115 for graduation regalia and diploma materials with response due September 10, 2026. Denton County issued ITB 26-2914 for business printing (certificates, business cards, envelopes, forms) due June 4, 2026. The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, solicited printing of motor vehicle title forms (Bid 26DPP01318, due August 28, 2026) with an estimated contract value of $1.2 million over three years. A Texas education service center, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, posted a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) covering estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years. Texas dominates recent posting activity; New Jersey represents state-level specialized printing demand. Most contracts run two to three years and are structured as best-value procurements or invitation-to-bid competitions open to qualified vendors without explicit set-aside restrictions noted in the public descriptions.
