NIGP 25550: Liquor Stamps, Numbered

NIGP 25550 Liquor Stamps, Numbered (Item) represents tax identification stamps and related compliance infrastructure that state alcoholic beverage regulators procure to track spirits distribution and enforce excise-tax collection. State and local governments buy physical stamps in bulk formats — individual sheets, rolls, and large spools — along with cloud-based management systems for stamp ordering, inventory control, and permittee administration. This code captures the production, distribution, and operational support required to maintain a functional tax-stamp supply chain for regulated liquor sales.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission issued RFP 458-E260331 on April 28, 2026, for tax identification stamps and a SaaS-based point-of-sale system with management support, with a response deadline of May 28, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time. The TABC procurement requires vendors to produce stamps in three formats (individual sheets of 80, rolls of 500, and large rolls of 10,000), implement a secure software platform for stamp and inventory management, provide shipping and handling via FedEx Ground or equivalent, and deliver monthly system access fees under a fixed per-1,000-unit pricing model. Evaluation weighs cost at 40 percent, approach at 25 percent, qualifications and experience at 20 percent, oral demonstration at 10 percent, and clarity at 5 percent; respondents must demonstrate a minimum of five years' recent experience and provide client references and proof of financial solvency. The procurement carries a total compensation cap not to exceed $2,000,000 over an initial three-year term (September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029) plus one optional two-year renewal, with a mandatory VetHUB subcontracting plan requirement. The anticipated notice of award is June 17, 2026.
