About NIGP 05059
NIGP 05059 Paper, Art, Various Types is an Item code covering paper products for educational and recreational use, prominently including construction paper, art tissue, specialty papers (cotton bond, linen cover stock), charcoal paper, watercolor paper, newsprint, sketch pads, and cardstock in bulk quantities for school districts and municipal recreation departments. State and local buyers source these materials on annual and multi-year term contracts through IFBs and RFPs, typically awarding to multiple vendors and ordering on an as-needed basis to school district central warehouses or individual school sites.
School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with significant recent activity from independent school districts in Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Donna Independent School District in Cameron County) and large county school systems in Florida and Georgia (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Marion County School Board, Houston County School District, Polk County School Board, Seminole County School Board) and Connecticut (New Haven Public Schools). Municipal recreation departments also procure under the code; Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia recently solicited arts and craft supplies including paper products for its Department of Parks and Recreation. Florida school systems show the heaviest recent concentration, with multiple active procurements from Marion County (central warehouse multi-purpose and art paper bids due January 14, 2026), Hillsborough County (annual Student Nutrition Services paper products RFP due February 27, 2026, with an estimated $193,221 annual value), and Polk County (art materials IFB due April 21, 2026). Geographic spread includes Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Connecticut, with school district purchasing in these states accounting for the bulk of recent opportunities. Representative recent procurements include Northside Independent School District's art supplies and equipment IFB (due July 30, 2026), New Haven Public Schools' color and specialty paper ITB (due June 17, 2026, with local vendor preference), Houston County School District's copy paper ITB (5,040 cases across six scheduled 2026 deliveries), and Marion County School Board's ten-month art supplies central warehouse term contract (due January 14, 2026, approximately 215 line items).
