NIGP 96636: Forms Printing (Not Continuous)

NIGP 96636 Forms Printing (Not Continuous), an Item code, encompasses flat-stock printing of business forms, government documents, and informational materials—criminal history report forms, vehicle registration documents, health care request pads, brochures, postcards, door hangers, and registration inserts—that state and local government agencies routinely procure. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span state departments (Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget; Texas Department of Motor Vehicles; Texas Department of Public Safety; State of Georgia; State of Michigan Department of Health and Human Services), county and city government offices (Santa Clara County; Walworth County; City of Philadelphia; Gregg County, Texas; Hillsborough County Public Schools), regional transit authorities (Atlanta Department of Transportation and Department of Watershed Management), and community college districts (Collin County Community College District; Maricopa County Community College District). Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services is a standout repeat buyer, posting multiple solicitations monthly for departmental and agency form printing under prequalified Print & Mail Management vendors. The scope of work demanded is highly varied: Texas Department of Public Safety solicits high-volume criminal history report forms with multiple configurations and security features; Michigan agencies issue recurring requests for NCR carbonless pads, tri-fold brochures, and numbered forms with strict compliance and delivery specifications; Philadelphia and other municipalities request flat printing of utility bills, service notifications, and citizen communications; and school districts solicit portrait and yearbook photography services framed as picture-services contracts alongside traditional form printing.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Public Safety requesting bids for Criminal History Report Forms under IFB 405-27R0003051 with response due October 23, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issuing an RFQ for picture services across 254 school sites with responses due July 30, 2026; the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget soliciting bids for 140,000 temporary vehicle registration permits (BFS-50) under RFQ 1712600000004471 with responses due August 27, 2026; the City of Philadelphia requesting flat printing for service-line mailers and utility notifications under multiple micro purchase notices; Santa Clara County requesting printing and mailing of Notification of Assessed Value mailers under ITB format with responses due October 2, 2026; Walworth County, Wisconsin posting an RFB for printing services to all county departments due July 30, 2026; and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles seeking registration inserts printing services for approximately 24 million inserts annually with proposals due June 12, 2026. Michigan's prequalified Print & Mail Management program drives significant volume through competitive RFQ cycles with preset evaluation criteria favoring best value (price, turnaround time, Michigan-based printing capability, and vendor experience) over lowest bid alone. Most Michigan and state solicitations impose strict compliance requirements including detailed cost documentation, PDF proof approvals, F.O.B. destination prepaid delivery to specified state docks, pallet and carton labeling specifications, no-underrun policies, and Electronic Funds Transfer payment terms within 45 calendar days of invoice or final acceptance.
