NIGP 20070: Shirts, Dress and Casual

NIGP 20070 Shirts, Dress And Casual, Item tier, covers the procurement of dress shirts, casual shirts, polos, tactical shirts, and related customization services—screen printing, embroidery, and emblem application—across state agencies, universities, county governments, cities, independent school districts, and special districts. State and local buyers use this code for employee uniforms (field operations, law enforcement, facilities maintenance, fire services), institutional apparel (school spirit wear, community outreach items), and specialized tactical or professional dress requirements. Recent solicitations span Texas A&M Forest Service's single-vendor uniform management contract for 500+ employees across field, law enforcement, and business casual categories; the Mississippi Department of Public Safety's purchase of Capitol Police Division dress and casual shirts and trousers; Temple Independent School District's multi-vendor RFP for t-shirts, polos, and custom decoration services across 15 campuses; and the City of Phoenix's five-year safety and non-safety uniform contract encompassing shirts, pants, and customization across nine municipal departments. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies, Texas municipalities and school districts, and county governments in Georgia and California, with particular concentration among Texas state entities and agencies serving law enforcement and public-safety personnel.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Texas A&M Forest Service, Texas Facilities Commission, Texas Comptroller/TDCJ, Temple ISD, University of Texas Health Science Center, City of Phoenix) and the Southwest and Southeast (Mississippi Department of Public Safety, City of Philadelphia, Clayton County Georgia, Orange County California). Texas leads in recent activity volume. Representative near-term opportunities include Texas A&M Forest Service RFP27003 (single uniform provider, proposals due November 3, 2026, award anticipated first week of December 2026); Mississippi Department of Public Safety IFB 3160008204 (Capitol Police shirts and trousers, bids due October 1, 2026); and Clayton County Board of Commissioners ITB #26-57 (public safety uniforms for 500 police employees, bids due July 9, 2026). Contracts typically run one to five years with renewal options, require embroidery or logo placement, mandate online ordering portals or showroom services, and increasingly specify firm pricing for initial terms with CPI-indexed adjustments thereafter. Estimated annual volumes range from several hundred to tens of thousands of units; no single guaranteed minimum exists across the code.
