NIGP 70073: Printing Presses, Offset; And Accessories

NIGP 70073 Printing Presses, Offset; And Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure printing equipment maintenance, repair services, and specialized high-volume printing production. Recent solicitations show that issuing bodies are buying repair and parts support for offset printing equipment (specifically Heidelberg and Polar presses), as well as contracted printing services including design, production, mailing, and fulfillment for public communication materials such as water quality reports, bill inserts, brochures, and postcards. The mix of recent buyers includes state transportation departments and municipal water and transportation utilities, reflecting demand from both large-scale state operations and city-level public agencies that manage recurring high-volume communications to their customer base.

Georgia and Texas show the most recent activity under this code. The Texas Department of Transportation issued Solicitation 601440000052334 for Print Shop Equipment Maintenance and Repair Services, with a response deadline of May 7, 2026, requiring vendors to be registered on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Centralized Master Bidders List and to hold appropriate NIGP classifications.

Both solicitations emphasize the need for reliable production capacity and turnaround performance to support recurring annual needs and urgent requests throughout the fiscal year.
