NIGP 70073: Printing Presses, Offset; And Accessories

NIGP 70073 Printing Presses, Offset; And Accessories is an Item code covering maintenance, repair, and parts supply for offset printing equipment in state and local operations. State and local governments procure these services primarily to sustain in-house print shops serving internal administrative and utility functions—including high-volume transaction processing (water utility billing, tax notices, and delinquency documents) and general printing operations. The work involves preventive and corrective maintenance, parts replacement, equipment accessory supply, and technical support for specific equipment lines such as Heidelberg and Polar printing systems. Issuing bodies include state transportation and administrative agencies as well as municipal utilities and finance departments operating dedicated print shops.
