NIGP 12575: Tapes, Bookbinding

NIGP 12575 Tapes, Bookbinding, an Item code, covers adhesive tapes, binding materials, and related supplies used by state and local governments for document preservation, office operations, and facility maintenance. State and local buyers under this code procure general-purpose pressure-sensitive tapes (masking, duct, packaging), specialized binding tapes for archival or institutional use, bookbinding supplies including spine tape and edge reinforcement materials, and consumable adhesive products for routine administrative and maintenance work. Issuing bodies span state departments, county offices, city procurement bureaus, school districts, and special-purpose agencies—typically purchasing through standing supply contracts or cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than project-specific awards. The code reflects routine operational spending rather than discretionary or capital procurement.

No recent state and local contract opportunities are present in the available source material for this code. Procurement activity under NIGP 12575 may be concentrated in cooperative purchasing agreements, blanket orders, or regional supply contracts that do not generate visible individual solicitation notices, or activity levels under this Item code may be limited relative to broader office-supply categories.
