UNSPSC 93151702: National bank notes

UNSPSC 93151702 National Bank Notes is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted against it. The opportunities tagged to this code are overwhelmingly focused on comprehensive banking services, merchant card processing, treasury management, depository services, and short-term financing facilities — none of which involve the issuance, printing, or distribution of currency or bank notes. The code's nominal scope (national bank notes as a tangible product) and the actual work being solicited under it are disconnected. State and local governments rarely, if ever, procure physical bank notes; the opportunities here reflect instead the operational relationships and financial management services that governments maintain with banking institutions.

The recent activity under this code shows no relevant procurement. Multiple issuing bodies — independent school districts (Troup County Schools in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Effingham County Schools in Georgia), county governments (Broward County, Pinellas County, Harris County, Gwinnett County, Volusia County), cities (Norcross, Snellville, Midland, Dallas, Waxahachie, Southlake, Tempe, Kingman, New Smyrna Beach, Pflugerville), state entities (Texas Comptroller, Illinois Department of Employment Security, Texas A&M University System), and special authorities (Ontario International Airport Authority) — are soliciting banking services, purchasing card programs, custodial services, commercial paper facilities, ACH services, merchant processing, and ATM operations. Across the available opportunities, depository banking and payment processing dominate, with RFPs and ITNs from Troup County Schools (RFP banking services, due November 6, 2026), Pinellas County (RFP for Board and Clerk banking services, due February 19, 2026), State of Texas (RFP primary depository, due November 3, 2026), Broward County (RFP master banking services with five service groups, due October 13, 2026), Volusia County Schools (ITN banking, purchasing card, and merchant services, due February 5, 2026), and Gwinnett County (bid for purchasing card services, due October 12, 2026) exemplify the scope. Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, Texas, Illinois, California, and Arizona. This code shows no recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition and should be reconsidered or excluded from targeting in this category.
