NIGP 05272: Posters and Prints (Not Originals)

NIGP 05272 Posters and Prints (Not Originals) is an Item code covering the design, production, and delivery of printed materials ranging from routine business stationery and brochures to specialty items such as controlled-substance prescription forms and wide-format signage. State and local governments source this work through a mix of issuing bodies including county departments, universities, and special-purpose institutions. Recent solicitations reveal two distinct procurement patterns: master agreements for high-volume, as-needed printing services with graphic design and expedited delivery capabilities, and event-based or transactional purchases for specific projects such as commencement photography or poster sales at universities.

San Mateo County issued RFP 2026RFP00610 on July 9, 2026 with proposals due August 12, 2026, seeking a three-year master agreement for printing, graphic design, and typesetting services to support all County departments, with optional one-year extensions and local-business preference points available; the County requires four years of similar service experience, in-house graphic design, and delivery capability across North County, Central County, South County, and Coastal Region service areas with standard seven-business-day turnaround and expedited same-day pickup within four hours. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee issued RFB 2027UWMIL01395RFB with responses due July 27, 2026 for personnel and merchandise to conduct annual or biannual poster sales events on a revenue-sharing basis. Activity appears concentrated in California and Wisconsin, with counties and university systems as primary issuing bodies.
