NIGP 20025: Dresses, Skirts, Blouses

NIGP 20025 Dresses, Skirts, Blouses is an Item code describing apparel and related garment procurement by state and local governments, though the recent solicitations under this code are substantially broader in scope—school districts and cities are buying full-range apparel inventories (t-shirts, polos, hats, caps, activewear, jackets, sweatshirts, athletic uniforms, and accessories) along with decoration services such as screen printing and embroidery. The issuing bodies include school districts and municipal governments, with Temple Independent School District (TISD) in Texas representing a large multi-campus buyer serving approximately 8,700 students across 15 campuses. Vendors pursuing these opportunities typically supply through online catalogs, maintain consistent discount structures, and offer both blank apparel and customization capabilities including embroidery and screen printing with advertised turnaround times. Payment terms are structured as Net 30 via Electronic Funds Transfer, with vendors bearing freight costs on FOB Destination delivery.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. Temple Independent School District posted RFP 006-27 on September 1, 2026, due October 6, 2026, for multi-vendor apparel and accessories with customized decoration services, establishing an additional vendor pool alongside existing contracts from prior solicitations RFP 003-25 and RFP 003-25(A). The City of Richardson posted Solicitation 5526 on May 14, 2026, due June 16, 2026, for an annual requirements contract for embroidered items evaluated on best value, requiring five professional references and detailed pricing submissions. Both opportunities involve no guaranteed minimum purchase volumes and are structured to allow flexible ordering based on departmental needs, with TISD explicitly reserving the right to award to single or multiple vendors by line item.
