NIGP 90817: Bookbinding Services, Saddle Stitched

NIGP 90817 Bookbinding Services, Saddle Stitched is an Item code covering saddle-stitched binding work that state and local governments procure as part of broader printing and binding service contracts. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code captures binding services bundled with printing and design work rather than binding alone; governments buy these services to support internal document production, educational materials, and administrative publications across multiple departments and programs within a single jurisdiction or cooperative purchasing group.

Solicitation activity under this code includes school districts and cooperative purchasing alliances. Glendale Elementary School District posted RFP 270431S1 on September 25, 2026, for Printing and Binding Services–Supplemental with proposals due October 9, 2026, available to SAVE (Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures) members as well as the district itself, indicating multi-entity purchasing leverage. The notice does not specify estimated contract value, contract term, volume commitments, or service-level requirements in available source material. Limited recent activity appears in the available opportunities block, suggesting this Item code sees modest procurement volume relative to broader printing and binding Class codes.
