NIGP 20672: Printers, High Speed, Line Printers, and Printer Subsystems

NIGP 20672 Printers, High Speed, Line Printers, And Printer Subsystems is an Item code under which state and local governments procure high-speed printing systems, multifunction devices, 3D printers for educational and operational use, and associated supplies, services, and fleet management. Recent solicitations show state agencies, school districts, city governments, and cooperative purchasing consortia sourcing everything from large-format color and monochrome printing equipment with finishing capabilities to classroom 3D printers, document management software, and integrated classroom technology packages that bundle projection, display, and control systems with printing infrastructure. The Illinois Department of Human Services' January 2026 RFP 26-444DHS-BUSSE-B-49986 exemplifies high-end procurement under this code: the state sought a five-year lease for minimum three high-speed color inkjet printers (936 images per minute cumulative) and ten monochrome printers to handle 8.1 million monthly impressions at its Statewide Printing Center in Springfield, with mandatory turnkey installation, training, maintenance, and four-hour response time requirements. The City of Madison's March 2026 RFP 1500802026 for city-wide printing and mailing services illustrates municipal demand, requiring dynamic laser printing, document composition, and insertion for 580,000 weekly pieces through Madison Water Utility and 127,000 monthly pieces for tax bills and notices through the Finance Department. School districts and education service centers—including Cobb County School District (Georgia), Valencia College District (Florida), Region One Education Service Center (Texas), and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas)—purchase 3D printers for CTAE programs, classroom technology systems with integrated projection and document camera support across 900 rooms, and bundled computer and printer supplies on catalog-discount terms.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Washington, with education sector buyers particularly active in Texas and Florida. Cooperative purchasing vehicles generate substantial volume: Sourcewell (Minnesota) issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment reaching thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada, while Purchasing Solutions Alliance (Texas), a nonprofit cooperative of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments, issued RFP 26-227 in May 2026 for printers, copiers, multifunction devices, and related services (including fleet management, maintenance, and supplies) for PSA members nationwide on a three-year initial term with two optional one-year extensions. The School District of Manatee County (Florida) established catalog-discount contracts through RFP 260107KD for technology equipment with firm percentage discounts off published catalogs running May 1, 2026 through June 30, 2030. Valencia College District's April 2026 RFP 2026-26 anticipated $1.6 million in annual spending across classroom and conference room technology services. Issuing bodies range from single school districts and cities to regional consortia and state departments, with response dates clustering in April, May, and June 2026.
