NIGP 12510: Bindery Supplies

NIGP 12510 Bindery Supplies, an Item code, encompasses binding and finishing materials that state and local governments procure for in-house print operations — adhesives, binding wire, covers, laminating film, and related consumables used to finish documents and collateral. The Orange County Transportation Authority recently solicited bindery supplies on an as-needed basis for delivery to its Print Shop in Orange, California, signaling that transit authorities and transportation agencies maintain dedicated print facilities requiring regular resupply of these materials. Issuing bodies under this code include transit authorities and other state and local agencies with print or document-production functions. Delivery logistics and freight handling are material factors: the OCTA solicitation notes a 4,000-pound freight-elevator capacity and no loading dock, placing responsibility for offloading on the vendor. All supplies must be new; refurbished or used items are prohibited.

The Orange County Transportation Authority posted an RFQ for bindery supplies on July 27, 2026 with a response deadline of May 20, 2026 and a budget of $8,000 for a one-year term running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Prices are firm-fixed for the entire contract term with no increases permitted; all price decreases automatically extend to the Authority. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation insurance. The incumbent vendor is United Binding & Laminating under Contract C54041. Questions were due May 1, 2026 with written addendum responses issued by May 5, 2026. Respondents must certify they are not subject to Ukraine/Russia-related economic sanctions imposed by California or the United States Government under Presidential Executive Orders 13660, 13661, 13662, 13685, and 14065.
