NIGP 66582: Shrink Film Packaging Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 66582 Shrink Film Packaging Equipment and Supplies, an Item code, covers specialized consumable supplies and materials used in packaging and containment operations by state and local agencies. Recent solicitations show the code encompassing wire spools, plastic seals with locking mechanisms for inventory control, and vinyl wrap materials for vehicle graphics and surface protection. State agencies, higher-education institutions, and school districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code. The scope of work spans both industrial-grade consumables—such as braided galvanized wire and numbered plastic seals for aquatic resource management—and commercial-grade finishing materials like outdoor-rated cast vinyl wrap for fleet vehicle branding and protective applications. Agencies typically procure these supplies on an as-needed or recurring basis over multi-year contract periods, with emphasis on material durability specifications, installer or vendor certification where applicable, and cost-effective delivery models.

Recent activity centers in Utah, with the State of Utah Division of Purchasing issuing a five-year IFB for wire spools and plastic seals to support the Wildlife Resources Division's Aquatic Invasive Species Program (IFB BD27-118, due October 14, 2026), anticipating approximately 500 wire spools and at least 50,000 seals over the contract term. Snow College in Ephraim, Utah also posted an IFB for providing and installing vinyl wrap on a semi tractor with outdoor-rated cast film and 7–10 year durability specifications (IFB SNOC26271004, closed July 17, 2026), requiring certified vehicle wrap installer qualifications. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted an RFP for miscellaneous warehouse supplies (RFP2026094, due July 9, 2026) with delivery to the district. The issuing bodies span state procurement offices, public higher education, and school districts; geographic activity in this small sample is concentrated in Utah and Texas, though the sparse recent opportunity set suggests limited current market activity under this specific code.
