NIGP 96251: Laminating Services

NIGP 96251 Laminating Services, an Item code, covers adhesive-backed lamination and protective coating services for documents, signage, instructional materials, and comparable flat-stock items that state and local government offices, schools, and facilities departments need preserved or enhanced for durability and visibility. Recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing lamination work embedded in broader park infrastructure upgrades, facilities maintenance contracts, and educational supply procurement pipelines where laminating appears as one component within a larger service or goods bundle rather than as a standalone service line. Issuing bodies include municipal departments, regional purchasing cooperatives, and school-affiliated procurement entities; the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas appears as a repeat buyer aggregating demand across multiple districts and local agencies for classroom and administrative materials that benefit from protective lamination.

The most recent activity reflects dispersed geographic demand across Florida and Texas. The City of DeBary, Florida posted Bid 03-15 for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (posted October 19, 2026, due April 10, 2015) as a $90,000 competitive irrigation system installation that does not explicitly name laminating; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued RFP CLSF2628 for Classroom Furniture & Supplies (posted June 23, 2026, due May 26, 2026) with estimated expenditures of $21,568,516.00 across a two-year term, where laminating services would support protective finishes on educational materials and furnishings. The Region 7 Cooperative's prior vendor base of 62 awardees suggests established supplier channels for materials requiring protective treatment. Laminating services under this code remain embedded within larger procurement vehicles rather than standalone opportunities, limiting visibility as a primary line item in current solicitation data.
