NIGP 91571: Newspaper and Publication Advertising

NIGP 91571 Newspaper and Publication Advertising, an Item code, encompasses the purchase of newspaper and publication placements for legal notices, official announcements, recruitment materials, tourism marketing, and general interest advertising by state and local governments. State and local buyers use this code to meet statutory publication requirements—such as tax sale notices, delinquent land petitions, and election notices—and to support discretionary marketing campaigns promoting public services, tourism destinations, and civic initiatives. Recent solicitations show governments procuring both traditional print advertising and bundled digital-print packages from newspapers of general circulation and specialty publications serving particular audiences.

Soliciting bodies span cities, counties, state agencies, special-purpose districts, and higher education institutions. The City of Waco (RFB 2026-033, due August 4, 2026) seeks a newspaper of general circulation for official city organ and legal notice publication; Jackson County, Missouri (ITB, due April 14, 2026) seeks editing and publishing services for delinquent tax and foreclosure sale notices; and Dorchester County, South Carolina (RFP 202651, due April 3, 2026) solicits delinquent tax and tax sale notice posting services. Regional transit authorities including Jacksonville Transportation Authority (RFP, due February 24, 2026) and the City of Cincinnati (RFI, due February 18, 2026) are pursuing advertising and naming rights packages for transit assets. Education and tourism entities—Region One Education Service Center (RFP 26-0178, due June 1, 2026), Collier County for a tourism visitor guide (RFP 26-8664, due June 3, 2026), and Brevard County for travel media relations (RFQ 52601, due February 3, 2026)—are also active. Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Missouri, South Carolina, Michigan, and Oregon. The code sees steady activity across statutory publication work, tourism and economic development marketing, and transit system advertising—a mix that blends mandatory legal compliance with discretionary brand and recruitment campaigns.
