NIGP 12522: Bindings, Plastic Post/Rivet Strips

NIGP 12522 Bindings, Plastic Post/Rivet Strips is an Item code covering bindery supplies—plastic binding strips, posts, and rivets used in document finishing and office reproduction operations. State and local governments procure these supplies on a consumable, as-needed basis for in-house print shops and document services. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include transit authorities and regional transportation agencies operating centralized print and bindery facilities.

The Orange County Transportation Authority posted an RFQ for bindery supplies in July 2026, with a response deadline of May 20, 2026 and a one-year term budget of $8,000 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Deliveries are required to OCTA's print shop in Orange, California during business hours, with the vendor responsible for delivery and offloading given a 4,000-pound freight-elevator capacity and no loading dock. The incumbent vendor is United Binding & Laminating under Contract C54041. Prices must be firm-fixed for the entire contract term with no increases permitted; all price decreases automatically extend to the Authority. The Authority requires commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate and automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit. All supplies must be new; refurbished or used items are prohibited. Responding firms must certify non-subjection to Ukraine/Russia-related economic sanctions under Presidential Executive Orders 13660, 13661, 13662, 13685, and 14065.
