NIGP 96662 Offset Printing, Booklets, Saddle Stitch Binding (Quan. Under 100,000): Books and Magazines, an Item code, covers state and local procurement of bound offset-printed materials in volume runs under 100,000 units—including legislative session laws, vacation guides, newsletters, business collateral, handbooks, and high-volume notification mailers that require perfect or saddle-stitch binding with multi-color covers and interior printing on coated or uncoated offset stock. Issuing bodies include state legislatures and tourism departments, county governments, municipalities, school districts, community colleges, and special-purpose districts such as watershed management agencies. State and local procurement offices regularly consolidate printing requirements into annual or multi-year contracts, often soliciting through IFB or RFP with firm fixed-price and per-unit pricing structures that specify paper grade, ink color, binding method, delivery location, and liquidated-damages clauses for missed deadlines.
