NIGP 96625: Digital Printing from an Ink Jet Plotter

NIGP 96625 Digital Printing From An Ink Jet Plotter, an Item code, covers high-volume, multi-format printing services that state and local governments use to produce brochures, newsletters, notices, promotional materials, and wide-format signage on both routine and urgent timelines. Recent solicitations show counties, school districts, colleges, and municipal agencies sourcing printing as both standalone services and components of larger document-production workflows—from San Mateo County's three-year master agreement for business stationery through wide-format signage to Davis County's multi-channel notice printing encompassing USPS mailing and electronic distribution. Issuing bodies span state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Education Agency), county governments (San Mateo, Gregg, DeKalb, Fayette, Orange, Davis), cities (Madison, Orlando), independent school districts (Northside ISD, San Antonio ISD), and higher-education institutions (Collin College, Florida Atlantic University, Albany State University). Purchase models vary: some jurisdictions issue master agreements allowing any department to place orders across a three- to five-year term; others solicit for specific, high-volume recurring needs such as tax or ballot notices; still others consolidate multiple expiring contracts into single solicitations to maintain vendor continuity.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (San Mateo and Gregg Counties in California, Collin College and NISD in Texas, SAISD in San Antonio, Texas Education Agency statewide), the Southeast (DeKalb County Georgia, Fayette County Georgia, Orange County Florida, Hillsborough County Florida), and the Upper Midwest (Madison Wisconsin, Davis County Utah). Recent opportunities include San Mateo County's RFP 2026RFP00610 (proposals due August 12, 2026) seeking printing, graphic design, and typesetting on as-needed basis with local-business preference; Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026091 (bids due July 30, 2026) consolidating two expiring printing-supplies contracts into one; Collin College's ITB FY2025-ITB-024 (bids due June 3, 2025) for brochure and booklet printing over three years; and Davis County's RFP DC202601 (proposals due February 24, 2026) for property-tax and valuation-notice design, printing, and mailing with approximately 112,700 notices annually. Evaluation criteria weight vendor experience and qualifications heavily alongside pricing; turnaround times of three to seven business days are standard, with expedited same-day or 24-48 hour options common. Insurance, E-Verify compliance, and state registration requirements are routine.
