UNSPSC 60121411: Acrylic panels for picture frames

UNSPSC 60121411 Acrylic panels for picture frames is a Commodity code that encompasses museum-grade and conservation-quality framing materials and services procured by state and local governments for public art collections, government facilities, and educational institutions. State and local solicitations under this code reflect actual demand for conservation-grade acrylic glazing, archival matting, and complete framing assemblies rather than acrylic sheet stock alone. The issuing bodies include municipal arts departments, city procurement offices, school districts, and state agencies managing public facilities. Work typically involves either the supply of framing components meeting conservation standards (UV-filtering acrylic, acid-free materials, archival spacers) or turnkey professional framing services for fine art, prints, and signage installations. Vendors must often demonstrate conservation or museum-quality experience and warrant workmanship for extended periods; some solicitations require compliance with local business enterprise preferences and nondiscrimination provisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Pennsylvania. The City of Tampa Arts and Cultural Affairs Department issued an RFQ (26P00584, due October 7, 2026) for conservation framing of seven fine art acrylic woodcut prints in its permanent collection, requiring 99% UV-filtering shatter-resistant acrylic glazing and conservation-grade materials with a one-year warranty. The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department posted micro-purchase RFQs for MG Print & Picture Collection materials (B2728160, due October 19, 2026, maximum $94,000) and display/picture frames (B2727348, due June 12, 2026, maximum $43,000), both under one-year requirements contracts with LBE preference eligibility in Philadelphia. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio posted an IFB for districtwide art supplies and equipment (IFB2026096, due July 30, 2026), replacing an expiring contract. The Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board issued RFP 7925-SJ (due May 5, 2026) for a comprehensive artwork package at the Tuskegee Airmen Texas State Veterans Home in Fort Worth, including framing and installation services with a 1.0 percent VetHUB subcontracting goal and contract term through August 31, 2027.
