NIGP 96685: Snap-Out Form Printing (see 395-70,80 for Continuous Shelf Items)

NIGP 96685 Snap-Out Form Printing, an Item code, covers the procurement of pre-printed multi-part carbonless forms with perforations and snap-outs—specifically the kinds of transaction documents, notices, and identifications that state and local agencies distribute to the public and field operations. State and local governments buy park violation notices, campsite ID forms, property tax bills, and similar official documents under this code, sourcing from print vendors who specialize in carbonless stock, consecutive numbering, and shrink-wrapped unit packing to exact specifications. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget; Michigan Department of Natural Resources) and municipal governments (City of Madison, Wisconsin). State agencies appear to be the primary buyers, with multiple procurements issued in rapid succession through formalized pre-qualification and competitive bidding processes.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Wisconsin. The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget issued three solicitations in early March 2026—RFQ #260187 for 3,500 DNR Campsite ID forms (due March 11, 2026) and RFQ #260184 for 65,100 PR 3025 Park Violation Notice forms (due March 11, 2026), both of which moved to Notice of Intent to Award by mid-March with RMI recommended at $514.12 and $3,741.45 respectively. The City of Madison, Wisconsin issued RFP 1500802026 on March 3, 2026 (due April 3, 2026) for city-wide printing and mailing services, with dynamic laser printing and high-volume weekly and monthly production for the Water Utility (approximately 580,000 pieces weekly) and Finance Department (approximately 127,000 pieces monthly for tax bills and notices). Michigan procurements require prequalification with the state's Print & Mail Management program and mandate Michigan printing compliance; both state solicitations imposed compressed timelines of six days or fewer between posting and response deadline, signaling established vendor relationships and rapid replenishment cycles.
