NIGP 96622: Decal Printing

NIGP 96622 Decal Printing, an Item code, encompasses the production and installation of adhesive-backed decals, stickers, permit tags, and vinyl graphics that state and local governments apply to vehicles, equipment, facilities, and public communication materials. State and local buyers under this code procure everything from recreational permit decals and inspection stickers to truck wraps, window clings, and vehicle-identification graphics—typically in volumes ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of units, with strict durability, numbering, and security specifications. The code attracts school districts, state environmental and transportation departments, county public-works agencies, transit authorities, and city fleet operations. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) recently issued an ITQ for truck wraps (response due April 28, 2026), while Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services, procuring on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources, has posted multiple RFQs for recreational permit decals, inspection stickers, and regulatory labels. San Mateo County issued an RFP for general printing services including vehicle signage (response due August 12, 2026), and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority solicited holiday rail wraps (response due September 14, 2026).

Michigan dominates recent activity in this code, with the DTMB Printing Services issuing numerous RFQs for 2027–2028 recreation passport decals, snowmobile permits, moped decals, construction-code stickers, DNR labels, and voter-engagement stickers—many posted in late August and September 2026. Outside Michigan, activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County Schools, cities of Altamonte Springs and Albuquerque) and includes scattered opportunities in Texas (Northside Independent School District, Collin County Community College, Texas A&M University) and Georgia (City of Atlanta). Michigan's Print & Mail Management program acts as the dominant contracting vehicle for state procurement, requiring vendor prequalification and emphasizing Michigan-based printing, best-value evaluation, sequential numbering for security and tracking, and delivery to the Lansing dock at 7461 Crowner Drive. Representative vendors appearing across multiple awards include Nev's Ink, Evergreen Graphics, ShayLeslie, LABELTAPE, Smart Source, and Whitlam. Award values range from under $1,000 to $27,900 for large sticker runs, with payment by Electronic Funds Transfer and typical 45-day invoice terms. Setup and design services are frequently bundled into unit pricing or quoted separately.
