UNSPSC 82141507: Silkscreen design services

UNSPSC 82141507 Silkscreen design services is a Commodity code covering the design and production of screen-printed merchandise and apparel for state and local government use. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing on-site merchandise production and screen printing for public events, custom-printed uniforms and gear for public safety operations, embroidered and screen-printed clothing for special teams, and screen-printed signage for parks and facilities. The issuing bodies span city governments, county recreation departments, fire departments, and state universities, with work ranging from event-specific merchandise production to multi-year uniform supply agreements. The scope diverges somewhat from the code's nominal "design services" framing—buyers are actually procuring end-to-end production, not design consultation alone.

Activity concentrates in the Southwest, Southeast, and Midwest. The City of Phoenix (Arizona) solicited screen-printed uniforms and tactical gear through RFQ 26-0058 due April 16, 2026, for the Fire Department's Arizona Task Force 1 program, requiring embroidery, screen printing, and Velcro customization on 220 battle dress uniforms and 220 t-shirts annually over five years. The County of Orange, California (OC Community Resources) issued IFB 3006405 for Custom Sign Fabrication Services due May 26, 2026, encompassing fabrication and installation of screen-printed directional and identification signage across 43 parks, with a 5 percent price preference for certified local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise vendors. The City of Milton, Georgia solicited through RFP 26-PR02 on-site merchandise screen printing and sales for its annual Crabapple Fest (due July 16, 2026), requiring production of branded t-shirts and five additional merchandise items with net-profit split at 30 percent to the City. Two Ohio opportunities posted July 7, 2026 with July 9 due dates lacked sufficient issuing-body identification to assess actionability. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Georgia, Ohio, and related activity in printing services procurement across Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida, though the latter states' recent opportunities (printing, uniforms, graphic design) indicate broader apparel and production services rather than screen printing specifically.
