UNSPSC 81111512: Computer graphics service

Service for computer graphics

UNSPSC 81111512 Computer graphics service is a Commodity code encompassing the design, production, and installation of visual communications materials that state and local governments procure on ongoing and project bases. Recent solicitations show that this code captures graphic design support for signage, banners, truck wraps, printed materials, digital assets, and marketing collateral—work that blends creative design with production oversight and sometimes installation. State and local buyers range across school districts, municipal departments, county offices, state agencies, transit authorities, community colleges, and universities. School districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District) and cities (Oviedo, Dallas, Decatur, Lawrenceville, Palo Alto, Tucson, Huntsville) appear frequently; state agencies including the California Department of State Hospitals, Department of General Services, and Texas State Technical College also solicit under this code. Procurement structures vary widely—some jurisdictions issue one-time ITQs for specific deliverables (truck wraps, banners, printed envelopes), while others establish master agreements or on-call pools to support multiple departments across a contract term.

Activity concentrates in California, Texas, and Florida, with secondary momentum in Georgia, Illinois, and Colorado. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools requesting quotes for full-color digitally printed truck wraps (ITQ 26137-ITQ-DST, due April 28, 2026); the City of Oviedo, Florida requesting quotes for banners and A-frame signs across eight municipal events (RFQ due September 23, 2026, response closed); the Orange County Transportation Authority requesting proposals for a comprehensive multilingual safety awareness and public education campaign consultant for the OC Streetcar (proposals due September 22, 2026, with interviews scheduled October 7); the City of Tucson seeking design and installation for interpretive displays at Reid Park Zoo's Pathway to Asia expansion (RFQ due October 3, 2024, budget $500,000); the 13th Judicial Circuit Court of Hillsborough County issuing an accelerated ITB for multimedia graphic design services supporting court communications and branding (bids due October 5, 2026, estimated value $188,928 over three years); the City of Decatur, Georgia establishing on-call contracts for graphic design and photography services (submissions due September 24, 2026); and San Mateo County requesting proposals for printing, graphic design, and typesetting services with a five percent local-business preference (proposals due August 12, 2026, three-year term with two one-year extensions). Insurance requirements typically include commercial general liability ($1 million per occurrence) and professional liability coverage ($1 million per claim). Most jurisdictions mandate WCAG 2.1 compliance for digital work, E-Verify documentation, drug-free workplace certifications, and debarment attestations. Award is consistently made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria; evaluation weights emphasize firm experience and qualifications (20–45 points), team capability and staffing, portfolio quality and approach, and pricing proportionally. Several recent opportunities closed without award or show past due dates, indicating volatility in procurement timing and execution.
