UNSPSC 82101905: Print placement

UNSPSC 82101905 Print placement is a Commodity code encompassing promotional and marketing print services that state and local governments procure to support public communications, community outreach, tourism promotion, and special events. Recent solicitations show government agencies buying print placement and related production services as part of integrated marketing campaigns—screen-printed merchandise for city festivals, printed collateral for transit ridership marketing, visitor guides for tourism destinations, and branded promotional items for airport marketing. The scope reflects a mix of in-house design and production services, fulfillment and distribution, and media buying across print channels including direct mail, signage, banners, brochures, business cards, and branded apparel. Issuing bodies span transportation authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Broward County Transit), municipal governments (City of Milton, City of Milpitas, City of New London), convention and visitor bureaus (Greater Fort Lauderdale CVB, Broward County Tourism), regional planning organizations (North Florida TPO), and state departments (Texas Department of Natural Resources, Georgia DNR). Orange County Transportation Authority appears frequently across multiple marketing and outreach contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Orange County Transportation Authority contracts for streetcar marketing, Express Lanes marketing, rail capital projects public outreach), Florida (Broward County, City of New London, Collier County tourism), and Texas (state tourism and trade initiatives). Recent representative opportunities include the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP 250350 for public outreach services on the Measure M Environmental Mitigation Program (proposals due July 13, 2026, $150,000 over three years, covering outreach plans, multilingual materials, and event support); Ontario International Airport Authority's RFP 2026-RFP-082 for promotional merchandise vendor services including screen printing, embroidery, and customization (proposals due July 23, 2026, three-year term with optional extensions, no budget disclosed); City of Milton's RFP 26-PR02 for on-site merchandise screen printing and sales at the annual Crabapple Fest event (proposals due July 16, 2026, through September 2027 with two automatic annual renewals, 30% of net profit split); and Tempe School District No. 3's IFB 27-03-31 for marketing support materials and services including signage, direct mail, and design services (bids due May 5, 2026, one-year term beginning July 2026 with options for four additional one-year renewals). Print placement activity at the state and local level remains steady, with most opportunities structured as time-and-expense or fixed-price arrangements and typically valued under $500,000 for initial contract terms.
