NIGP 91778: Outsource Printng, Graphic Arts Only

NIGP 91778 Outsource Printing, Graphic Arts Only is an Item code covering printing supplies and related services that state and local governments procure for routine operational and administrative needs. Recent solicitations show demand for general printing (black-and-white, full-color, offset, digital, and large-format), design and prepress services, finishing and bindery operations (folding, cutting, stapling, binding, laminating, numbering), and delivery to multiple government locations. School districts and county governments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with Northside Independent School District in San Antonio and Gregg County, Texas posting major competitive procurements in the past four months. School districts appear to consolidate printing contracts to replace expiring agreements and ensure vendor continuity, while counties solicit comprehensive printing services spanning multiple departments and geographic service areas within the jurisdiction.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, with Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) posting IFB 2026091 for printing supplies and related services with a bid-due date of July 30, 2026, and Gregg County posting RFP 2026-13 for comprehensive printing services with proposals due June 17, 2026. Gregg County's scope is representative of county-level demand: the procurement requires per-unit pricing, setup charges, design services, binding and finishing charges, mailing services, delivery charges, rush-order pricing, and large-format rates across multiple County facilities in Longside, Kilgore, Gladewater, and surrounding areas, with standard turnaround times of three to seven business days. Gregg County applies a local-vendor preference under which proposals within five percent of the lowest responsible non-local proposal may be selected if determined to offer best value. The county requires awarded vendors to carry Commercial General Liability insurance ($1,000,000 minimum), Automobile Liability ($600,000 minimum), and Workers' Compensation coverage.
