NIGP 79538 Embroidery Machines, Accessories And Supplies (Item) covers embroidery equipment and related supplies that state and local governments procure for vocational training, client workshop programs, and educational career and technical education (CTE) initiatives. The scope includes multi-needle tubular and flat-bed embroidery machines, digitizing software, design-library subscriptions, starter kits with thread and backing supplies, and onsite training. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies and school districts; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting the same embroidery machine specification twice within the past month (HHS0017446 and HHS0017446V2).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Michigan. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two RFQs for a Chroma CHS2-1504-W 15-needle tubular embroidery machine, with the second iteration (HHS0017446V2) due July 7, 2026, carrying a historical reference value of $34,538.98 and including Otto Cap Kit, Hoopmade subscription, Chroma Inspire Digitizing Software, starter supplies, and one day of onsite training for Vernon State Hospital's Central Rehab Client Workshop. Marshall Public Schools, Albion, Michigan, issued an IFB due July 10, 2026, for CTE Graphic and Print Technologies equipment that includes two Brother Entrepreneur W PR680W 6-needle embroidery machines alongside heat presses, large-format printers, and screen-printing equipment for Marshall Opportunity High School. Both HHSC and DSHS may use any contract awarded from the Texas solicitation.
