UNSPSC 82101500: Print advertising

UNSPSC 82101500 Print advertising, a Class code, covers media buying, creative development, campaign execution, and advertising placements across print, digital, broadcast, and social channels that state and local governments are currently soliciting. Recent state and local opportunities under this code include integrated tourism marketing campaigns, public awareness initiatives for traffic safety and behavioral health, municipal communications support, transit and airport advertising management, and agency-level media buying arrangements. The issuing bodies span state departments of transportation and economic development, counties and cities, universities, transit authorities, and convention bureaus; Texas agencies appear frequently as repeat buyers across multiple tourism and outreach campaigns. Work solicited ranges from comprehensive, multi-year statewide campaigns (Texas Department of Agriculture's summer media campaign covering digital and print advertising with creative development; Texas Office of the Governor's tourism marketing services for Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Israel targeting international audiences) to municipal on-call arrangements (City of Milpitas' five-year communications and marketing support including graphic design, video production, and media buying for citywide initiatives; Broward County's public relations services emphasizing media relations and community engagement). Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with activity also present in Illinois, Connecticut, California, Ohio, Wisconsin, South Carolina, New York, Michigan, and Arkansas.

Recent opportunities illustrate the scope: the Texas Department of Agriculture (RFP 5510001089, due August 6, 2026) seeks a prime contractor to execute a one-year summer media campaign with three optional renewals covering campaign strategy, content creation, and media buys across digital and traditional channels, with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting and $100,000-plus subcontracting floor requirements; the City of Milpitas (RFP 26-155, due July 28, 2026) is procuring five-year on-call communications and marketing support for graphic design, video production, and media planning with a 25-year threshold for vendor experience; Pinellas County's Visit St. Pete-Clearwater (RFP 260424, due April 23, 2026) sought domestic public relations for the US and Canada with a five-year term and approximately $875,000 total contract value spanning monthly fees and expenses. The code shows active, sustained procurement across state tourism offices, municipal departments, transit operators, and special districts, with multiyear terms and significant scope breadth making it a core engagement category for agencies managing reputation, constituent outreach, and destination marketing.
