NIGP 31067: Envelopes, Shipping and Mailing

NIGP 31067 Envelopes, Shipping and Mailing, an Item code, encompasses printing, folding, inserting, and USPS mailing services that state and local governments use to distribute mass communications including tax documents, license renewal applications, ballots, newsletters, and general administrative correspondence. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring variable-data printing on pre-addressed envelopes with postal compliance services (CASS and NCOA certification, mail presort, First Class Pre-Sort formatting), bulk mail preparation, and fulfillment labor—work that typically combines envelope supply with end-to-end mailing logistics. Issuing bodies include county treasurers and tax offices, county dog-licensing departments, county election offices, city public works and procurement departments, independent school districts, community college districts, state corrections departments, and specialized purchasing cooperatives. Cuyahoga County, Ohio and the City of St. Petersburg, Florida each appear twice in the recent record, suggesting consistent demand in those jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities span Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, and California. Cuyahoga County issued back-to-back solicitations in October 2026 for 70,000 dog license renewal mailings due November 2026 (RFQ/IFB format, October 7 and 12 response dates).
