NIGP 96607: Business Cards Printed

NIGP 96607 Business Cards Printed, an Item code, covers the procurement of custom-printed business cards by state and local governments, typically as part of broader printing-service contracts that bundle cards with letterhead, envelopes, forms, and related collateral. State and local agencies—school districts, counties, cities, transit authorities, and health departments—solicit business cards either as standalone line items within consolidated printing RFPs or as components of multi-year printing agreements. Recent opportunities show cards consistently ordered in volumes ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of units annually, with specifications for paper stock, ink colors, sizing, and delivery schedules. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Denton County, and Magnolia Independent School District in Texas), county purchasing offices (Walworth County Wisconsin, Gregg County Texas, Harris County Precinct 3 Texas, Denton County Texas, Washington County Oregon), community college districts (Collin County Community College District in Texas), municipal governments (City of Madison Wisconsin), and county health departments (DeKalb Public Health Georgia). School districts and county governments are the dominant buyers under this code, with most consolidating card procurement into broader printing contracts to standardize vendor relationships and reduce administrative overhead.

The geographic footprint of recent activity clusters in Texas (Northside ISD, Gregg County, Harris County Precinct 3, Denton County, Magnolia ISD, and Collin County Community College District), with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Walworth County and City of Madison), Oregon (Washington County and Marion County), and Georgia (DeKalb Public Health). Representative opportunities include Collin County Community College District's ITB FY2024-ITB-025 for three-year business collateral printing including monthly business card orders due April 18, 2024; Walworth County Wisconsin RFB 26-082 for printing supplies and services including 22,500 business cards annually across county departments, bids due July 30, 2026; Denton County Texas ITB 26-2914 for printed materials including business cards on an as-needed basis in lots of 500 or 1,000 units, due June 4, 2026; and Washington County Oregon ITB 2026.038-ITB for countywide printing and bindery services including business cards as one of seven job types, due May 7, 2026 with an estimated total contract expenditure of $800,000. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, require FOB delivery to multiple county or district locations, and mandate firm pricing for the initial term with price adjustments tied to the Producer Price Index or capped percentage increases in renewal years.
