NIGP 96264: Packaging and Wrapping Services (incl. Shrink Wrapping)

NIGP 96264 Packaging And Wrapping Services (Incl. Shrink Wrapping), an Item code, encompasses storage, inventory management, fulfillment, and shipping of collateral materials for state and local entities. Recent solicitations show the code covers warehousing and distribution operations that manage physical materials—tourism brochures, event collateral, trade show bags, and promotional inventory—from receipt through final delivery to end users. Issuing bodies under this code include convention and visitors bureaus, municipal parks departments, and county governments. The work involves maintaining dry storage facilities, processing orders on compressed timelines (3–5 days typical), managing inventory across multiple SKUs, and coordinating last-mile delivery.

Recent activity centers in Florida, where Visit St. Pete-Clearwater (Pinellas County Convention and Visitors Bureau) posted an Invitation to Quote on August 17, 2026 for convention and event fulfillment services—storage, inventory management, and shipping of tourism materials—with proposals due July 30, 2026 and a Pinellas County Certified Small Business Enterprise preference deadline of July 29, 2026. The contract term is 60 months from award with two optional 24-month extensions. The vendor must be located in Pinellas County and maintain approximately 12 feet by 15 feet of dry storage space. The City of DeBary, Florida also posted a competitive irrigation system improvement project (Bid 03-15) on October 19, 2026, due April 10, 2015, though this opportunity does not align with packaging and wrapping services scope. Geography is limited in the source to Florida jurisdictions. Local-vendor preferences and SBE set-asides appear to drive recent procurement strategy.
