NIGP 96214: Blue Printing Services: Blue Prints, Blue Line, Large Engineering

NIGP 96214 Blue Printing Services: Blue Prints, Blue Line, Large Engineering is an Item code under which state and local governments procure printing, graphic design, and typesetting services covering business stationery, brochures, booklets, controlled-substance prescription forms, wide-format signage, and presentation materials, as well as commissioning and specialized technical documentation services for infrastructure and facilities projects. The issuing bodies span school districts, counties, and municipalities; recent solicitations show activity from independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio, Texas), county purchasing offices (San Mateo County, California; Pasco County, Florida), and city procurement bureaus (City of DeBary, Florida; City of Santa Fe, New Mexico; City of Madison, Wisconsin). When issuing bodies solicit under this code, they typically seek vendors with in-house graphic design capability, turnaround commitments ranging from same-day to seven business days, multi-location delivery capacity, and the ability to handle both routine and time-sensitive orders under master agreements that span two to three years with optional extensions.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Florida, California, Wisconsin, Georgia, New Mexico, and Texas. Representative solicitations include San Mateo County's RFP 2026RFP00610 for printing, graphic design, and typesetting services on an as-needed basis with proposals due August 12, 2026, and a local-business preference of five percent with additional points for small or micro businesses; Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026091 for printing supplies and related services with bids due July 30, 2026, consolidating two expiring agreements and requiring all current vendors to respond to maintain business continuity; and the City of DeBary's Bid 03-15 for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements with a competitive bid process and an engineer's estimated cost of $90,000, though the irrigation scope appears outside the typical printing-services taxonomy and may reflect data-entry classification anomalies in the underlying source.
