NIGP 12570: Paper, Reproduction Proofing

NIGP 12570 Paper, Reproduction Proofing is an Item code under which state and local governments procure copy paper and related office reproduction supplies for district-wide and facility-level use. The Rockwood School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited bids in May 2026 for district-wide prepaid copier paper through an RFB, requiring 6,310 cases of acid-free, 8" x 11", 20 lb., 92 brightness white USA-milled copy paper to be delivered to 30 district schools and facilities on an as-needed basis over a one-year contract period. School districts emerge as the primary issuing bodies under this code based on recent activity, with procurement focused on high-volume office paper supplies that must meet performance specifications for laser printers and high-speed copiers, including jam-free guarantees and Sustainable Forestry Initiative certification. Vendors must provide references including prior government or school district clients, evidence of financial stability, and comprehensive general liability insurance.

Recent activity concentrates in the Midwest, with the Rockwood School District representing the most concrete opportunity posted in the source. The May 2026 RFB from Rockwood School District set a May 22, 2026 bid submission deadline with Board of Education recommendation scheduled for May 29, 2026 and formal approval anticipated by June 16, 2026. Qualifying vendors must submit questions by May 15, 2026 through the Bonfire bidding portal. The procurement requires F.O.B. Destination pricing with Net 45 payment terms and does not indicate set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available procurement documents.
