NIGP 96510: Alterations, Printing

NIGP 96510 Alterations, Printing, an Item code, encompasses printing supplies, printing services, and related finishing work that state and local governments procure to support operations across school districts, universities, cities, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dynamic laser printing, document composition and insertion, color and monochrome printing, envelope storage, graphic design services, and mail finishing — often as consolidated multi-year contracts replacing expiring agreements. School districts, municipal utilities, tax collection operations, and university enrollment and administrative functions drive the volume; several recent bids consolidate multiple expiring contracts into single procurements to ensure vendor continuity and operational stability.

The code sees recent activity across Texas, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Georgia. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued IFB 2026091 (due July 30, 2026) consolidating printing supplies and services from two expiring contracts, with incumbent vendors required to respond. The City of Madison, Wisconsin posted an RFP (due April 3, 2026) for city-wide printing and mailing services supporting the Madison Water Utility and Finance Department, requiring dynamic laser printing, document composition, and mail finishing with 65 technical and 35 financial points allocated to evaluation. Albany State University in Douglas County, Georgia issued a supplemental RFQ (due March 10, 2026) to establish a campuswide contract for printing and graphic design services with multiple award recipients, excluding vendors already awarded under the predecessor contract. Mississippi State University's Office of Procurement Services solicited enrollment marketing printing services (due May 6, 2026) on behalf of Montgomery County, Mississippi.
