NIGP 90815: Bookbinding Services, Perfect (Paperback Book Type)

NIGP 90815 Bookbinding Services, Perfect (Paperback Book Type) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure new paperback textbooks and reference materials for operational and training use. The City of Fort Worth's recent RFQt for first responder textbooks—two specific titles in new, unused condition for Fire Department training—illustrates the scope: jurisdictions source pre-bound, publisher-quality paperback books for immediate deployment to end-user departments, with firm pricing that includes freight and delivery. The issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire and public safety departments, which procure materials on as-needed or standing-order bases to support ongoing training, certification, and operational readiness. Purchasing offices typically enforce new-condition and original-publisher requirements to ensure quality and compliance with training standards.

The City of Fort Worth's RFQt 26-0319, posted September 14, 2026 with a response deadline of September 17, 2026, represents recent activity under the code. The solicitation specified two titles—Essentials of Fire Fighting, 8th Edition and Hazardous Materials for First Responders, 6th Edition—with no substitutions permitted without prior written authorization. The contract term was one year with up to four one-year renewal options, pricing remained firm throughout the initial term with adjustment requests permitted only during renewal periods with 90 days' advance notice and documented cost-increase justification, and the City evaluated Small Business Enterprise certification status under its Small Business Program. Payment terms were Net 30 Days, and award went to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose price was reasonable and in the City's best interest.
