Printing and Writing Paper Merchant Wholesalers

The NAICS code 424110 covers Printing and Writing Paper Merchant Wholesalers, which represents businesses primarily engaged in wholesaling paper products used for printing, writing, and office applications. These merchants typically distribute various paper-based products such as copy paper, specialty printing papers, office stationery, labels, and related materials to government agencies, businesses, and other institutional customers. The category encompasses businesses that purchase paper products from manufacturers and resell them to end-users, providing essential supplies for administrative, operational, and communication needs.

The federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a diverse range of paper-related procurement activities, primarily by agencies like the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, Department of State, and General Services Administration. Contract values typically range from a few hundred to around $50,000, with most awards being firm fixed-price purchase orders. Frequently awarded entities include Scarborough Company Inc. (particularly for UNICOR product labels), MBA Office Supply, Govconnection Inc., and Sydar Of DC LLC. Many awards are for specific paper products like labels, copy paper, printer supplies, and office stationery. Approximately 30% of the awards utilize small business set-aside designations, particularly for contracts with the Bureau of Prisons' UNICOR program, which aims to provide job training for incarcerated individuals through manufacturing activities.
