NIGP 20074: Silk Screened Shirts, Jackets, Hats, etc.

NIGP 20074 Silk Screened Shirts, Jackets, Hats, Etc., Item code, encompasses promotional, branded, and uniform apparel with silk-screen printing, embroidery, or other customization for state and local departments and agencies. State and local governments procure under this code apparel ranging from promotional t-shirts and polo shirts to departmental uniforms, law enforcement duty gear, detention-center inmate clothing, and branded jackets with embroidered logos or patches. The work includes both supply of blank or pre-decorated apparel and in-house decoration services such as screen printing, embroidery, patch application, and tailoring. Issuing bodies span state agencies (Texas A&M Forest Service, Railroad Commission of Texas, University of Texas Health Science Center), counties (Hillsborough County, Bernalillo County), cities (Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Richardson), and school districts (Temple Independent School District, Northside Independent School District, Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District). Recent activity shows school districts and cities as frequent repeat buyers in this space.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, with multiple recent solicitations from the state agencies, school districts, and cities across that jurisdiction; Philadelphia and Phoenix represent secondary markets. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITQ for uniforms and protective clothing for the Pet Resources Department due November 2, 2026 (estimated value $38,141 over two years); Texas A&M Forest Service's RFP for a single uniform provider serving over 500 employees with anticipated annual award value exceeding $100,000, proposals due November 3, 2026; Temple Independent School District's RFP for apparel and accessories with custom screen printing and embroidery services for 15 campuses serving approximately 8,700 students, due October 6, 2026; City of Fort Worth's RFP for standard workwear with embroidery and alteration services establishing a 30% small business participation goal, due June 25, 2026; and the Railroad Commission of Texas's IFB for 1,250 custom Port Authority soft shell jackets with embroidered RRC seals, originally due March 24, 2026 (bid responses due at that date).
