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

NIGP 20130 Caps, All Types (Except Disposable And Hospital Types), an Item code, covers headwear and related apparel including embroidered hats, BDUs, fatigue uniforms, gear bags, and branded promotional items that state and local governments procure for operational programs, emergency response, school athletics, and workforce apparel needs. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying customized caps and headwear either as standalone accessories or bundled with broader apparel packages; the work includes embroidery, screen printing, Velcro attachments, and durability specifications suited to firefighting, law enforcement, and athletic use. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Cypress-Fairbanks ISD in Texas, Gallup-McKinley County School District in New Mexico), county purchasing departments (Rockland County, New York), municipal fire and police departments (Phoenix Fire Department), and special districts. School districts and public-safety agencies appear most active under this code in recent months.

The geographic spread covers Texas, New York, Arizona, New Mexico, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include Cypress-Fairbanks ISD's RFP 26072040 for spirit apparel and promotional items (response due June 30, 2027); Rockland County's RFB-RC-2026-028 for reflective apparel and accessories including hats, caps, and beanies with embroidery and screen printing (response due April 23, 2026, with virtual pre-bid April 9); the City of Phoenix RFQ-26-0058 for embroidered hats and BDU uniforms for Arizona Task Force 1 (response due April 16, 2026); the District of Columbia's restricted CBE solicitations DOC821060 and DOC825735 for MPD ERT uniforms (response due March 30, 2026); and Gallup-McKinley County School District's ITB 202628BK for athletic uniforms and related headwear (response due March 24, 2026, with estimated annual spending around $110,000 and New Mexico resident business preference eligibility). Set-asides appear jurisdiction-specific: Rockland County imposed a $500 bid deposit and New York workers' compensation requirements; the District of Columbia restricted two uniform solicitations to CBE vendors; and New Mexico offered resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences with up to 10 percent discounts for qualifying resident veteran businesses.
