NIGP 91548: Graphic Arts Services (Not Printing)

NIGP 91548 Graphic Arts Services (Not Printing), an Item code, encompasses the design, composition, and production of visual communications materials—including graphic design, photography, videography, digital content creation, branding, and social media support—that state and local governments procure to support public information, marketing, community engagement, and internal communications. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing integrated creative services combining graphic design with video production, photography, social media management, and communications strategy rather than discrete design tasks alone; the code captures agencies' shift toward bundled digital and visual communications support delivered by single contractors managing multiple channels and deliverables simultaneously.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city governments, counties, state departments, regional authorities, and public institutions. The City of New Haven, the Florida Department of Transportation District Six, the City of Milpitas, Dallas Independent School District, Hillsborough County's 13th Judicial Circuit Court, the California Department of Water Resources, the City of Philadelphia, the Oregon Department of Transportation, Broward County, and the University of Texas at Austin represent recent active buyers. These entities typically structure procurements as open-call RFPs or RFQs on multi-year terms (frequently three to five years with renewal options) and often establish on-call or as-needed frameworks with no guaranteed minimum volumes. Geographic activity clusters in California, Florida, Texas, Oregon, Colorado, and the Southeast, with notable recent opportunities in the Northeast. The City of New Haven posted an RFP due November 3, 2026, for digital and social media communications support services for the Mayor's Office, requiring minimum 20 hours per week and on-site availability; the Florida Department of Transportation District Six solicited an indefinite-quantity RFP (RFP17161) due October 28, 2026, for districtwide public strategic communications consulting on construction projects with a $1.5 million ceiling and hourly billing rates from $48 to $98 per hour across graphic design, videography, and community outreach roles.
