NIGP 70056: Offset Printing (Duplicating and Lithographing) Machines and Equipment (for 17 In. X 22 In. and Larger)

NIGP 70056 Offset Printing (Duplicating And Lithographing) Machines And Equipment (For 17 In. X 22 In. And Larger) is an Item code encompassing offset printing and high-volume duplicating equipment used by state and local governments. The work actually being solicited under this code focuses on specialized printing services rather than equipment procurement itself — specifically, high-volume production and fulfillment of government communications such as annual reports, bill inserts, brochures, postcards, and time-sensitive public materials. State and local governments are buying turn-key printing and mailing services that depend on offset and large-format duplicating capacity, vendor reliability, rapid turnaround capabilities, and coordination with multiple internal agencies. Issuing bodies include city departments with high-volume communication needs, such as utilities, transportation, and watershed management divisions that handle recurring and emergency public outreach.

The Atlanta Department of Transportation and Department of Watershed Management posted an Invitational Formal Bid (IFB) in July 2026 (solicitation PE66062NONST2027000000457, response due August 5, 2026) for specialized printing, mailing, and fulfillment services supporting annual water quality reports, monthly customer bill inserts, brochures, postcards, letters, invitations, and rush printing requests with strict delivery deadlines. The scope requires vendors to provide reliable production capacity, mailing and list-cleanup services, and ability to handle both recurring annual requirements and urgent communication needs throughout the fiscal year. Recent procurement activity under this code centers in Georgia, with Atlanta municipal utilities and transportation as the primary known buyers.
