NIGP 96510: Alterations, Printing

NIGP 96510 Alterations, Printing is an Item code under which state and local governments procure printing services encompassing handbook revision and design, uniform embellishment and alteration, and ongoing supplies. Recent solicitations show government buyers sourcing design-and-print turnkey services for public-information materials, embroidery and alteration work for law-enforcement apparel, educational printing supplies, and enrollment-marketing collateral. The mix of issuing bodies includes county sheriff's offices, county purchasing departments, independent school districts, and university procurement offices working on behalf of local jurisdictions. Print work ranges from one-time specialized projects (handbook redesign with Cal Firewise grant funding) to recurring annual contracts (police uniforms with web-based ordering and 45-day delivery cycles) to consolidated supplies agreements consolidating multiple expiring awards.

Activity appears across California, Georgia, Texas, and Mississippi in the most recent cycle. Representative opportunities include the County of Solano Sheriff's Office issuing an RFP on September 30, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for revision and reprinting of its County Wildfire Preparedness Handbook, which required addendum review as of September 25, 2026; Henry County, Georgia Purchasing Department issuing an IFB on August 28, 2026 (due September 24, 2026) for an annual police-department uniforms contract spanning 185 line items with embroidery, alterations, and measuring services, a web-based ordering system, and two optional renewal periods; and Northside Independent School District issuing an IFB on July 7, 2026 (due July 30, 2026) for printing supplies and related services, consolidating two prior agreements with incumbent vendors required to respond or risk losing future business with the District.
