NIGP 03723: Cards, Greeting and Gift (Including Recycled Types)

NIGP 03723 Cards, Greeting and Gift (Including Recycled Types), an Item code, covers gift cards supplied to state and local health departments and municipal agencies as client incentives, program participant rewards, and emergency assistance tools. State and local governments procure Walmart gift cards, Visa gift cards, transportation gift cards, food and gasoline gift cards, and retailer-specific cards for distribution to vulnerable populations — tuberculosis patients incentivized to complete treatment, maternal health program participants, and nurse-visited families facing financial hardship or program milestones. The issuing bodies are primarily city health departments and their subordinate bureaus, with Houston Health Department appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple program lines (Bureau of Tuberculosis, Fetal and Infant Morbidity Review, Nurse Family Partnership) and San Antonio Metropolitan Health District soliciting gift cards across transportation, food, gasoline, and household categories.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. Houston Health Department posted four separate gift-card RFxs between May and September 2026 — for Walmart cards valued at $10.00 each (600 units, $6,000 total, due October 2, 2026), Visa cards for maternal health incentives (31 units, due September 10, 2026), and Walmart cards for nurse home-visitor client rewards (due May 15, 2026). San Antonio issued three concurrent RFxs on July 1, 2026 (all due July 10, 2026) for on-demand transportation gift cards, food and gasoline gift cards, and clothing and household gift cards through the City's SAePS vendor portal. No contract values, quantities, or renewal terms were disclosed in the San Antonio synopses. The Philadelphia EMS Promotional Items procurement (B2627080, due May 8, 2026) is not gift cards but promotional merchandise requiring imprinted branding, placing it outside the scope of this code.
