NIGP 03756: Paper, Crepe

NIGP 03756 Paper, Crepe is an Item code that encompasses art paper and related commodity products supplied to state and local educational institutions and government offices. State and local governments procure this code primarily through school districts seeking bulk supplies of various art paper types—charcoal paper, construction paper, drawing paper, newsprint, sketch pads, finger paint paper, fadeless art paper, metallic foil papers, origami papers, railroad board, tag board, kraft paper, art tissue, and watercolor paper—typically through one-year supply contracts with multiple awarded vendors. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, driven by curriculum and art program requirements across elementary and secondary education systems.

Recent activity centers in Florida, where the School Board of Seminole County issued ITB 19200044BLL in September 2019 seeking art paper for a one-year contract with a total award of $43,089.75 split among six vendors including Pyramid School Products, Smith Office & Computer Supply, Cascade School Supplies, S&S Worldwide, Blick Art Materials, and School Specialty, Inc. The Seminole County procurement applied a 5 percent Florida preference to eligible bidders and required F.O.B. delivery to the warehouse at 1722 W. Airport Blvd., Sanford, FL 32771. Estimated line-item quantities ranged from 5 units for specialty items to 1,800 units for high-volume commodities such as white construction paper. Beyond the Seminole County opportunity, recent posting activity is sparse; no current open solicitations under this code appear in the source material.
