UNSPSC 60121708: Intaglio or lithography plates

UNSPSC 60121708 Intaglio or lithography plates is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure engraved and customized items, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of personalized goods than the nominal code name suggests. The City of Dallas and Northside Independent School District have posted opportunities under this code for engraved employee merchandise (water bottles and backpacks) and art supplies and equipment, signaling that state and local buyers are applying the code to procurement of customized or printed items for government operations and educational use. Cities and independent school districts are the primary issuing bodies visible in recent activity, with the code spanning both operational needs (employee gifts and recognition items) and educational consumables.

Texas appears to be the leading jurisdiction for recent activity under this code, with the City of Dallas posting an IFB for engraved water bottles and backpacks due September 17, 2026, and Northside Independent School District issuing an IFB for art supplies and equipment districtwide due July 30, 2026. The Dallas opportunity is a straightforward procurement of branded employee merchandise with delivery to Dallas Love Field Airport on an FOB basis, while the NISD IFB replaces an expiring contract and requires vendors to respond to maintain future business eligibility with the District. Both solicitations are government-issued competitive bids with firm response dates and include shipping and handling costs in proposal pricing.
