NIGP 19532: Jewelry, Costume

NIGP 19532 Jewelry, Costume is an Item code covering finished costume jewelry pieces that state and local governments purchase for retail operations, gift shops, and promotional use. The scope of work centers on branded or proprietary costume jewelry—necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and similar pieces—sourced from manufacturers, designers, and direct importers rather than resellers or distributors. Volusia County's August 2026 IFB for sea-life-inspired costume jewelry for the Marine Science Center Gift Shop exemplifies the typical buyer profile: a county or municipality operating a retail or public-facing venue requiring themed merchandise. The county's restriction to manufacturers and direct importers, combined with the requirement that items be proprietary to or manufactured exclusively under the vendor's brand or private-label arrangement, reflects the preference in this code for original-brand suppliers rather than middlemen.

Volusia County, Florida posted the most recent documented opportunity under this code. The IFB 26B93JJ solicited 21 specific costume jewelry items featuring marine life designs (sea turtle, seahorse, shark, starfish, jellyfish, octopus) across necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, with estimated total quantities of approximately 858 units and a response deadline of August 12, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST. The County intended to award a Master Agreement for an initial three-year term with two optional one-year renewals, applied a 3% local preference for vendors with six months' documented business location in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, or Volusia County, and required delivery to the Marine Science Center within fourteen days of order with firm pricing for ninety days and FOB Destination terms. No additional recent opportunities are documented in the source.
