NIGP 255: Decals and Stamps

NIGP 255 Decals and Stamps, a Class code, covers the purchase and installation of vehicle graphics, magnetic decals, vinyl lettering, stickers, and promotional decals for transit fleets, municipal vehicles, school transportation, and general government outreach. State and local governments use this code primarily for fleet branding, compliance signage, and public communication materials—work that ranges from full vehicle wraps and magnetic applications to cut vinyl lettering and smaller decal installations. The issuing bodies span transit authorities, county and municipal departments, school districts, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives; Hill Country Transit District (Texas), Donna Independent School District (Texas), and the City of West Sacramento (California) represent recent active buyers under or near this code's scope.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in California. Hill Country Transit District issued an IFB on July 1, 2026 (response due July 29, 2026) for purchase and installation of vehicle graphics and magnetic decals across 112 transit vehicles in Bell, Coryell, and Milam counties, requiring vendors with three years' continuous operation, five verifiable client references, and $1 million Commercial General Liability plus $1 million Auto Liability coverage; the contract term runs through December 31, 2028 with anticipated award October 1, 2026. The City of West Sacramento posted an RFQ on June 11, 2026 for citywide on-call graphic design, printing, fulfillment, and mailing services including stickers and decals in multiple sizes (response deadline June 10, 2026, already passed); the scope included decals at 4"×6" to 24"×36" formats with minimum 30% post-consumer recycled content and soy-based ink, structured as a two-year on-call master agreement with optional one-year extensions. Donna ISD issued a catalog discount bid on March 21, 2026 (due April 8, 2026) for awards and incentives including promotional items and apparel with screen printing and embroidery services for the 2026–2027 school year. Beyond formal procurements, vendors have accessed networking and reverse trade show events in Florida (Marion County, Tampa Bay Chapter of NIGP, Indian River County, FAPPO Annual Tradeshow) and Texas (Williamson County, Collin County) designed to connect with procurement decision-makers across multiple agencies simultaneously.
