UNSPSC 78102202: Post office box services

UNSPSC 78102202 Post office box services is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure almost not at all under this code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities dataset shows no post office box rental or management services; instead, the twenty-four posted opportunities tagged to this code span mail courier services, printing and mailing (including utility bills, tax notices, W-2 forms, and bulk presort), USPS barcoding and presort services, mailing solutions for state disbursement and child support systems, and unrelated equipment purchases (fish harvesters, drone systems, storage containers). The code's abstract name does not match the work actually being solicited. State and local issuing bodies — including state departments (California EDD, Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Illinois HFS, Maine DAFS), counties (Washington County Oregon, Collin County Texas, Greenville County South Carolina, Harris County Texas), cities (Austin, Madison, Tucson, Philadelphia, Sarasota), water and transit districts, colleges, and special purpose authorities — are contracting for mail handling, logistics, and document processing services, not post office box services.

The geographic spread spans California, Texas, Oregon, Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Arizona, Illinois, Maine, and Washington state, with the highest recent activity in Texas (three opportunities), California (three), and Florida (two). Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFP HHS0016867 for enrollment broker operations spanning mail handling and document management across eight managed care programs (proposals due September 4, 2026); the City of Austin's invitation for quote for W-2 printing and mailing services covering approximately 12,000 units annually (responses due March 31, 2026); the Collin County Community College District's ITB for mail service including newsletter mailings in volumes of 300,000 to 500,000 pieces over a three-year term (due August 25, 2025); and the California Employment Development Department's IFB for daily mail courier services at its Santa Ana facility with a 5% small business preference and DVBE incentive of 1–5% (bids due July 1, 2026). This code sees active state and local procurement activity, but nearly all of it falls outside post office box services and relates instead to outsourced mail operations, document processing, and postal logistics.
