NIGP 30535 Drawing Boards, Curves, Protractors, Templates, Triangles, T-Squares, Etc., is an Item code under which state and local governments procure drafting and technical drawing supplies and equipment. The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department recently solicited supplies under this code, posting a micro-purchase RFQ on October 5, 2026, for an MG Print & Picture Collection with bids due October 19, 2026. The scope includes drawing tools, curves, protractors, templates, triangles, T-squares, and related drafting instruments that support design, engineering, and architectural work across municipal departments. The Philadelphia solicitation is a whole or line-item award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a maximum contract value of $94,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U, a one-year term with options to renew for up to three additional one-year periods. Philadelphia requires Local Business Enterprise (LBE) preference under Chapter 17-109 for certified vendors and accepts voluntary LGBTQ certification. The contract mandates Workers' Compensation insurance at statutory limits, General Liability coverage of at least $500,000 per occurrence, and Automobile Liability of $300,000 per occurrence.

Recent activity under this code appears limited to municipal procurement, with the Philadelphia solicitation as the identifiable recent opportunity in the source. Geographic visibility is concentrated in Pennsylvania based on the posted record. The City of Philadelphia is the issuing body for the one documented recent opportunity; no other state, county, city, school district, transit authority, or special-purpose district appears in the sourced opportunities. Vendors responding to Philadelphia's RFQ must submit item specifications with quotes, quote all items to qualify for whole-contract awards, and maintain firm pricing through the hold period. All quotations must be submitted electronically through the PHLContracts eProcurement platform with a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement on file or attached prior to submission.
