NIGP 20130: Caps, All Types (Except Disposable and Hospital Types)

NIGP 20130 Caps, All Types (Except Disposable And Hospital Types) is an Item code covering headwear purchased by state departments, school districts, and cities for uniform programs, employee use, and student spirit wear. State and local governments buy campaign-style felt hats for law enforcement and administrative personnel, baseball caps and beanies for school district spirit wear and employee uniforms, and branded or customized headwear for municipal departments spanning public works, transit, parks, and aviation. Customization services—embroidery, screen printing, and logo application—are routinely bundled into headwear solicitations, with vendors expected to meet precise specifications on color, sizing, patch placement, and turnaround time. The issuing-body mix includes state administrative agencies, independent school districts, and municipal procurement offices. Illinois Department of Administrative Technology, Temple Independent School District, City of Phoenix, and Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District have all posted solicitations under or closely adjacent to this code in the past three months.

Recent activity spans Illinois, Texas, and Arizona. The Illinois Department of Administrative Technology posted IFB B-53899 on October 19, 2026, seeking Stratton Campaign Style Felt Hat F40 winter uniforms for the Illinois State Police, with bids due November 12, 2026, under a three-year as-needed contract extending to June 29, 2030.
