NIGP 96613: Check Printing

NIGP 96613 Check Printing is an Item code that encompasses printing of checks, security documents, specialized communication materials, and general print services for state and local government operations. State and local governments procure under this code high-security check stock with anti-fraud features, customized warrant printing, brochures and booklets, newsletters, postcards, envelopes, folders, and miscellaneous printed materials with specific requirements for paper stock, ink colors, sizes, quantities, and finishing techniques such as folding, binding, laminating, and numbering. Issuing bodies include state agencies (the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county governments (Gregg County, Collin County), city transit and utilities departments (Atlanta Department of Transportation and Department of Watershed Management), and community college districts (Collin County Community College District). The code sees activity across a range of public entities managing recurring communication needs, employee-facing materials, customer bill inserts, and official documents.
