NIGP 05272: Posters and Prints (Not Originals)

NIGP 05272 Posters and Prints (Not Originals), an Item code, encompasses promotional and decorative printed materials that state and local governments procure for event support, campus-wide sales, and institutional marketing. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing posters, prints, photographs, frames, and related merchandise through revenue-sharing event services; custom promotional collateral including signage, brochures, and posters for district-wide marketing campaigns; commencement photography services; and specialized artwork installations for healthcare facilities. The issuing bodies include university systems (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point), county governments (San Mateo County), school districts (Tempe Elementary School District No. 3), city governments (City of Madison), and special taxing district hospitals (Halifax Health). The work ranges from standard poster sales event execution and printing services to specialized services such as marketing collateral design with language localization and healthcare facility artwork curation, reflecting a mix of routine and custom procurement activity.
