NIGP 66542: Laminating Presses, Film, ID Pouches, and Supplies

NIGP 66542 Laminating Presses, Film, ID Pouches, and Supplies, an Item code, covers consumable films, laminates, and supplies for identity document production and security labeling. State and local governments buy overlaminate films with security features for license plate manufacturing, clear laminate patches and dye films for ID card printers, and blank card stock for badge and identification systems. The Colorado Department of Corrections and the State of Texas have posted recent RFQs for these materials, indicating active demand across state agencies and correctional systems for both high-volume specialty film products and smaller consumable supplies for printer-based ID systems.

Colorado posted two related RFQs in September 2026 for overlaminate film serving the Colorado Correctional Industries Tag Plant in Canon City—one posted September 14 with a response date of September 23, 2026, and another posted September 18 with a response date of September 24, 2026—both soliciting 650,000 units of 7-inch-by-12-inch clear polyester laminate with integrated holograms and 702,000 units of 1-inch-by-10-inch clear overlaminate film for temporary license plate board manufacturing, with contract term October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas State government solicited consumable ID printer supplies (RFQ INF20260256, due July 21, 2026) for the Houston Police Department Training Academy, including Magicard Prima re-transfer films, dye ribbon film, clear laminate patches, and blank PVC ID card stock. The Colorado RFQs emphasize sample approval prior to award, all-inclusive pricing with no additional freight charges, and criminal background compliance for facility access; the Texas RFQ specifies delivery to a single training location with no contract value or term disclosed. Colorado offers Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-asides at a 3% goal on the tag-plant solicitations. Recent activity centers on Colorado and Texas, with state corrections and law enforcement as primary issuing bodies.
