NIGP 96627: Electrostatic Printing Services

NIGP 96627 Electrostatic Printing Services, Item, encompasses digital and offset printing of marketing and operational materials for colleges, municipalities, and transit authorities — specifically brochures, booklets, newsletters, postcards, flyers, envelopes, and folders produced in volumes ranging from hundreds to thousands of units. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying printing services that integrate multiple production stages: digital laser printing, document composition, insertion, mail finishing, color and monochrome work, and custom finishing techniques such as folding and binding. The issuing-body mix includes community college districts, cities, and state universities; Collin County Community College District in Texas appears as a repeat buyer with two separate three-year printing ITBs posted in July 2026, one for brochures and booklets and a second encompassing general print services, newsletters, and postcards. Beyond printing, the code also captures bus wrap repair and installation — manufacturing and installing vinyl wrap decals on transit fleets to repair damaged exterior wraps, with materials warranted for two years and repairs completed within two business days.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Michigan, with standout opportunities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and Detroit. Collin College issued two ITBs due in June and August 2025 for three-year printing contracts with best-value evaluation, explicitly encouraging small, minority, veteran, and female-owned business participation. The City of Madison, Wisconsin released an RFP in March 2026 for city-wide printing and mailing services with an initial two-year term and three one-year renewal options, serving the Madison Water Utility (580,000 pieces weekly) and the Finance Department (127,000 pieces monthly for tax bills and notices), with 65 technical points and 35 financial points including local vendor preference weighting. The City of Detroit Department of Transportation released two separate RFQs for bus wrap repair and installation on a 292-bus fleet, posted February 2026 and reissued April 2026, with quotes due February 18 and April 22 respectively, FTA-funded with DBE good-faith-effort requirements and potential multiple awards. Albany State University in Georgia issued a supplemental RFQ in February 2026 for printing and graphic design services under a multiple-award campus contract with no guaranteed minimum or maximum spend.
