NIGP 25526: Decals, Pressure Sensitive Adhesive

NIGP 25526 Decals, Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (Item code) covers pressure-sensitive adhesive decals that state and local governments purchase for fleet vehicle identification, facility signage, security applications, and specialized regulatory compliance. Recent solicitations show two primary categories of work: direct procurement of finished decals for immediate application to city vehicles and specialized printing of security decals with tamper-evident features and exacting weathering and registration standards. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal governments, school districts, state agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving education service centers. Louisville Metro Government and Emergency Services, the City of Dallas, the State of Illinois, the School Board of Pinellas County, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) represent the mix of jurisdictions drawing on this commodity.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Illinois, with recent opportunities spanning fleet vehicle graphics (Louisville, Dallas), regulatory decals for passenger protection (Illinois), and educational supplies through cooperative purchasing (Region 7). The City of Dallas posted an ITB for pressure-sensitive adhesive decals on September 21, 2026, with bids due September 29, 2026, specifying International Nameplate U.S. Inc. decals for vehicle fleet preparation and make-ready at a Dallas facility, FOB delivery with freight included.

Louisville Metro Government solicited an RFP on October 12, 2026 (RFP270071, due November 6, 2026) for manufacturing and installation of decals and logos on EMS vehicles over a twelve-month period.
