NIGP 91565: Photographs, Includes Reprinting and Usage

NIGP 91565 Photographs, Includes Reprinting and Usage is an Item code that encompasses school and university photography services—principally professional commencement, event, and student portraiture—along with yearbook production and graphic design work supporting educational and municipal missions. State and local governments soliciting under this code include independent school districts serving thousands of students, universities, municipal parks and recreation systems, city communications departments, and county educational cooperatives purchasing on behalf of member districts. Hutto Independent School District in Texas, for example, solicited comprehensive photography and yearbook services across thirteen campuses serving approximately 11,000 students with a contract structure running from July 2026 through June 2030 and options for two additional one-year extensions; the district required vendors to provide individual student portraits, faculty and staff photography, class group images, candid event coverage, and integrated yearbook design platforms with online collaboration features and proofing workflows. Universities including the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and the University of Texas at El Paso have posted sealed-bid solicitations for commencement photography services, while the City of Albuquerque requested graphic design services that include photography work supporting the BioPark Zoo, Aquarium, Botanic Garden, and Tingley Beach.
