NIGP 96235: Framing Services, Picture

NIGP 96235 Framing Services, Picture, an Item code, encompasses the design, sourcing, fabrication, and installation of framed artwork and decorative signage for state and local facilities. Based on recent solicitations, state and local governments use this code to procure artwork packages for new or renovated public buildings, including custom framing, glass or acrylic materials, hardware selection, and on-site installation. The scope includes thematic artwork displays (such as historical or military imagery), wayfinding signage, textile art for specialized care environments, and the integration of maps or heritage materials into public spaces. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state agencies such as the Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board, as well as municipal park and recreation departments. Procurement typically combines artwork curation and design services with framing and installation work, requiring vendors to demonstrate interior design experience, project management capability, and ability to meet completion deadlines and budgets.

The Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board issued RFP 7925-SJ in May 2026 to acquire an artwork package for the Tuskegee Airmen Texas State Veterans Home in Fort Worth, including framed historical displays, wayfinding signage, and themed artwork with installation, with a proposal deadline of April 22, 2026, and evaluation weighted 40 percent to cost, 35 percent to relevant experience, and 15 percent to proposed methodology. Minimum qualifications required five years in business with demonstrated interior design and decorating experience, three-year project history, and SAM.gov registration. The solicitation imposed a 1.0 percent Veteran-Owned Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting goal, and the contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with a one-year renewal option. Recent activity under the code is sparse; the source provides limited geographic representation beyond Texas.
