NIGP 20476: Printers, Inkjet

NIGP 20476 Printers, Inkjet is an Item code under which state and local governments procure inkjet printing equipment and related supplies for operational use, with recent activity spanning multifunction devices, production-class flatbed and envelope printers, mobile thermal printers for field operations, and bundled technology refresh programs that couple equipment with maintenance and managed services. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments (Collin County, Texas), school districts across multiple states (Harlingen Consolidated ISD and Manatee County schools in Texas and Florida, Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia), cities (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Madison), state agencies (Illinois Department of Agriculture), higher-education institutions (Sam Houston State University, Valencia College), and cooperative purchasing programs serving nationwide eligible memberships (Purchasing Solutions Alliance). Recent opportunities reflect a mix of one-time capital equipment acquisitions, lease-based fleet management, technology catalog discounts spanning multiple years, and integrated service contracts bundling equipment with installation, maintenance, and managed support.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with notable procurements also in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
