NIGP 05248: Mixed Media

NIGP 05248 Mixed Media, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of artwork, decorative installations, media materials, and related creative services for display, promotion, and facility enhancement across state and local government facilities. The code captures both tangible media assets—such as framed prints, giclee canvas, acrylic-mounted photography, and holiday decorations—and the professional services required to design, install, maintain, and manage them. State and local buyers under this code include special taxing district hospitals, municipal recreation and public works departments, state health agencies, and county property management operations. The work ranges from permanent or semi-permanent facility decoration (healthcare facility artwork installations, civic holiday lighting and seasonal displays) to time-bound promotional media campaigns supporting public health and nutrition programs. Services typically include design and concept development, procurement and placement of materials, installation, maintenance, storage, removal, and creative asset production such as photography and renderings.
