NIGP 05216: Drawings (Originals) (Charcoal Prints, etc.)

NIGP 05216 Drawings (Originals) (Charcoal Prints, Etc.), an Item code, describes instructional art services and creative program delivery in state and local procurement, as demonstrated by recent opportunities in juvenile rehabilitation and arts education. State and local governments under this code procure structured creative arts instruction—drawing, sketching, shading, composition, color, painting, and other foundational artistic techniques—delivered in secure or educational settings. The San Mateo County Probation Department's Juvenile Creative Arts Program RFP exemplifies the scope: weekly art instruction at a detained-youth facility, with an all-inclusive rate covering curriculum development, lesson planning, demonstrations, materials, and administrative time. Issuing bodies include county probation departments and other public agencies operating educational or rehabilitative programs where arts instruction supports youth development and positive skill-building.

San Mateo County, California, posted the most recent opportunity under this code on October 9, 2026, with a response deadline of the same date. The RFP sought qualified providers with a minimum five years of similar service delivery experience within the last seven years, mandatory background clearance including Livescan fingerprinting, and compliance with secure-facility safety protocols. San Mateo County's local-business procurement preference ordinance applies, offering preference points to local businesses, local nonprofits, and small or micro businesses and nonprofits based in the county. The anticipated contract award date is October 30, 2026, with an initial three-year agreement term. Evaluation weighted project approach (35 points), qualifications and experience (30 points), cost analysis and budget (25 points), and preferential points (up to 10 points).
