NIGP 08035: Convention Badges and Name Tags, Adhesive Back

NIGP 08035 Convention Badges and Name Tags, Adhesive Back is an Item code capturing adhesive-backed name tags and identification badges that state and local governments procure for events, emergency response operations, and personnel identification. Recent solicitations show municipalities and special districts buying Velcro name tags integrated into uniform packages for emergency response personnel, thermal paper ATB stock and bag tags for airport operations, and adhesive name tags as components within broader apparel and equipment procurements. Issuing bodies include city fire departments, county airports, and county purchasing offices acting as cooperative-purchasing lead agencies on behalf of multiple participating jurisdictions.

The code shows limited recent activity in the available records. The City of Phoenix Fire Department's March 2026 RFQ (RFQ260058) solicited Velcro name tags as part of a five-year contract for battle dress uniforms and gear supporting Arizona Task Force 1 operations, with sealed offers due April 16, 2026, and contract commencing June 27, 2026. Sacramento County's RFP referenced bag tags and thermal paper ATB stock for the Department of Airports as a two-year initial contract with three optional one-year extensions, issued through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA) cooperative purchasing vehicle. Both opportunities show name tags and badges sourced regionally within Arizona and California, though the sparse recent record suggests minimal standalone procurement volume under this code; most activity appears bundled within uniform, apparel, or operational-support contracts rather than solicited as discrete items.
