NIGP 03756: Paper, Crepe

NIGP 03756 Paper, Crepe is an Item code covering specialty crepe paper products that state and local governments procure for educational, arts, and general operational use. Recent solicitations show school districts are the primary buyers under this code, acquiring crepe paper alongside broader art paper and multi-purpose paper inventories for classroom and warehouse distribution. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida's ITB for art paper (ITB19200044BLL) exemplifies the scope: districts source crepe and specialty papers—including charcoal paper, construction paper, newsprint, fadeless art paper, and origami papers—in bulk quantities to support K–12 instructional programs, with products delivered to central warehouses or distribution points for school-wide use.

Recent activity centers on Florida school districts. The School Board of Marion County, Florida issued a ten-month term contract bid (4153AM) in February 2026 seeking firm pricing for multi-purpose paper products including specialty papers for the Central Warehouse; the Seminole County art paper ITB from 2019 covered 24 line items with an award value of $43,089.75 split among six vendors (Pyramid School Products, Smith Office & Computer Supply, Cascade School Supplies, S&S Worldwide, Blick Art Materials, and School Specialty, Inc.). A Florida preference of 5 percent applied to eligible bidders in the Seminole County procurement. Delivery requirements typically specify central warehouse locations—Sanford, FL and Ocala, FL in recent bids—with palletized, shrink-wrapped packaging and fixed pricing for contract terms ranging from ten months to one year. No current active crepe paper–specific solicitations appear in the recent-opportunities block; the art paper and multi-purpose paper bids represent the broader commodity family under which crepe paper sits.
