NIGP 19532: Jewelry, Costume

NIGP 19532 Jewelry, Costume is an Item code under which state and local governments procure branded and commemorative costume jewelry for retail sale, gift shops, and school athletic programs. Recent solicitations show purchasing focused on specialized designs — sea-life-themed necklaces, bracelets, and earrings for museum gift shops, and custom championship rings and pendants for high school sports programs — typically sourced directly from manufacturers, designers, and private-label brand owners rather than distributors. Issuing bodies include county recreation and tourism departments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities; both the Volusia County Marine Science Center and Fulton County Schools have posted solicitations under this code within the past six months. Work involves custom design specifications, material and finish requirements, volume-based pricing, and firm delivery commitments tied to retail calendars or athletic seasons.

Volusia County in Florida posted an IFB on July 6, 2026 for sea-life-inspired costume jewelry for the Marine Science Center Gift Shop, with proposals due August 12, 2026 and a Master Agreement structure offering an initial three-year term with two optional one-year renewals; the County applied a 3% local preference to respondents with documented permanent business locations in a six-county region of central Florida, and required bidders to be direct manufacturers or private-label brand owners. Fulton County Schools in Georgia issued an RFQ in January 2026 for custom football championship rings and pendants for Creekside High School with a February 5, 2026 deadline, requiring firm FOB destination pricing and one-year warranties on all goods. Both opportunities specified competitive selection on lowest price and responsiveness, with the County and school district reserving rights to award to multiple vendors or reject all bids.
