NIGP 70091: Web Type Printing Presses

NIGP 70091 Web Type Printing Presses, an Item code, encompasses commercial printing services leveraging web-type and digital printing equipment for high-volume production of transactional documents, utility bills, tax notices, and mailed communications. State and local governments procure under this code when they need ongoing printing and mail finishing services for core administrative functions — primarily utility billing, tax collection, delinquency notices, and other recurring document streams that demand dynamic laser printing, monochrome and color output, document composition, insertion, and mail finishing. Issuing bodies range across municipal departments, utility authorities, and finance offices that manage large-scale internal printing operations or contract them to specialized vendors. The work typically involves fixed-term service agreements with renewal options and pricing structured as all-inclusive, not-to-exceed fixed fees broken down by task or project function.

The City of Madison, Wisconsin issued an RFP (Solicitation 1500802026) on March 3, 2026, due April 3, 2026, for city-wide printing and mailing services to replace an expiring contract. The solicitation targets approximately 580,000 pieces printed weekly for Madison Water Utility and approximately 127,000 pieces printed monthly for the Finance Department Treasury section covering real estate and personal property tax bills, delinquency notices, and reminder notices. The contract structure includes a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals, with evaluation weighted 65 technical points (including project qualifications and submission quality) and 35 financial points (cost proposal and local vendor preference); contractors with 15 or more employees and $50,000 or more in annual aggregate business must submit an Affirmative Action Plan within 30 days of execution. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises were identified, and comprehensive insurance coverage is required including general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and umbrella liability of $2,000,000.
