NIGP 01076: Paper Type Insulation Material (Cellulose, etc.)

NIGP 01076 Paper Type Insulation Material (Cellulose, Etc.), an Item code, covers paper-based insulation products and related materials procured by state and local government entities. Based on recent solicitation activity, state and local buyers under this code include school districts, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The scope of work encompasses consumable paper products—including art paper, construction paper, drawing paper, newsprint, and specialty papers such as charcoal, metallic foil, origami, watercolor, and kraft paper—that school districts and educational support organizations procure for classroom instruction and administrative use. School districts represent the primary issuing bodies, purchasing through both direct procurements and cooperative catalog-bid arrangements that allow multiple vendors to supply on an as-needed basis throughout a contract term.

Recent opportunities show activity across Texas and Florida. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida, issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB #18190045B-LL) in April 2026 for a 12-month art paper supply contract with response due October 30, 2018, awarding to multiple vendors including S&S Worldwide, School Specialty, and Pyramid.

Contracts typically run 12 months with optional renewals, require F.O.B. destination pricing with shipping included, and reserve the right to award to multiple vendors. No set-aside designations or specific budget values appear in the recent opportunities reviewed.
