NIGP 70053: Offset Plate Makers and Processors

NIGP 70053 Offset Plate Makers And Processors, an Item code, covers the equipment, supplies, and services state and local governments use to manufacture and process offset printing plates — a core input for in-house print operations and commercial printing contractors serving public agencies. The code captures both the machinery and consumables (plate blanks, chemistry, coating materials) required to produce printing plates from film or digital originals, as well as labor services to operate and maintain plate-making equipment. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code range from state printing offices and departments of transportation to county facilities management departments and municipal print shops that operate offset presses and maintain print production in-house.

The most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block provided no active solicitations under this Item code. Without recent postings, this code presents limited current pursuit opportunity; monitor for activity if your firm maintains offset plate-making or processing capabilities and targets state or local print operations or commercial printers serving public sector customers.
