NIGP Item 93650 Jewelry, Badges, Nameplates, Etc. Maintenance and Repair covers the procurement of insignia, badges, pins, medals, coins, and nameplates used by state and local public safety departments for identification, recognition, ceremonial, and commemorative purposes. State and local governments under this code buy customizable badge systems including breast badges, cap badges, and related accessories, typically sourced through competitive RFPs and ITBs that emphasize design flexibility, quality, and reliable order processing. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span municipal police and fire departments, public safety communications divisions, and other local public agencies. The City of Tucson represents a representative buyer, recently issuing a competitive solicitation through its fire department in coordination with police and communications departments to establish a multi-year contract serving multiple city public safety divisions simultaneously.

The code shows limited recent activity in the available opportunity record. The City of Tucson's solicitation 260122 for badges, pins, medals, and accessories represents the primary recent opportunity, posted August 14, 2026 with a pre-submittal meeting scheduled for September 3, 2025 and proposals due September 17, 2025. The Tucson solicitation includes federal compliance requirements tied to American Rescue Plan Act funding, including Section 3 labor benchmarks (25 percent of hours worked by Section 3 workers, 5 percent by Targeted Section 3 workers) and minority and women business enterprise participation provisions. The contract structure offers an initial one-year term with up to four additional one-year renewals, with the City reserving the right to make multiple awards. Vendors need not submit pricing for all badge categories to be considered, providing flexibility in response scope.
