UNSPSC 60121302: Mat cutter

UNSPSC 60121302 Mat cutter, a Commodity code, covers materials and services for custom framing and matting work that state and local governments procure for public art collections, museums, educational facilities, and government offices. Recent solicitations show demand for conservation-grade mat board, custom-cut framing components, and complete framing services that meet archival standards for fine art preservation. Issuing bodies include city arts departments, school districts, and state agencies. The City of Tampa Arts and Cultural Affairs Department solicited professional conservation framing services for seven acrylic woodcut prints in its permanent public art collection, specifying 4-ply 100% cotton rag conservation mat board and museum-quality materials with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued an IFB for art supplies and equipment districtwide with bids due July 30, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all vendors to respond to maintain future business eligibility. The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department posted separate micro-purchase solicitations for display and picture frames (due June 12, 2026, maximum value $43,000) and an MG Print & Picture Collection (due October 19, 2026, maximum value $94,000), both under requirements contracts with annual CPI adjustments and eligibility limited to those quoting all specified line items.

Activity under the code concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania based on recent postings. Beyond these three states, the source supports no additional geographic evidence. The Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board issued RFP 7925-SJ on May 5, 2026, for an artwork package at the Tuskegee Airmen Texas State Veterans Home in Fort Worth, encompassing decorative art, wayfinding signage, and installation including framing of Texas General Land Office maps, with evaluation criteria weighting cost at 40 percent and relevant experience at 35 percent; the RFP imposed a 1.0 percent VetHUB subcontracting goal and required SAM.gov registration. Philadelphia's local business enterprise (LBE) preference under Philadelphia Code Chapter 17-109 applies to its framing and print-collection micro purchases. Vendors to these jurisdictions must maintain professional insurance, comply with local ethics and non-discrimination requirements, and in Tampa's case warrant framing workmanship for a minimum of one year, with 51 percent of work performed by the awardee's own forces unless written subcontracting approval is obtained.
