NIGP 16078: Tags and Fasteners

NIGP 16078 Tags and Fasteners is an Item code covering the procurement of identification tags, fastening hardware, and related materials that state and local governments purchase for operational and asset-management purposes. State and local purchasing activity under this code centers on consumable and durable labeling products—bag tags, thermal paper stock for ticketing and boarding passes, and similar identification or affixing materials—used by transportation authorities, county departments, and municipal agencies in routine operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county transportation and airport departments as well as municipal procurement offices, reflecting the distributed nature of demand across multiple functional areas within state and local government.

Sacramento County, Department of Airports, issued an RFP (2026RFP0016) in July 2026 seeking bag tags, thermal paper, and Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass stock on a two-year initial contract with three optional one-year extensions, with the county reserving the right to issue one or multiple awards by line item. The solicitation was issued through Sacramento County as lead participating agency on behalf of the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing vehicle enabling participating governmental, educational, and non-profit entities to utilize resulting contracts. Recent activity in this code appears concentrated in California; no dollar value or specific response deadline was stated in the opportunity record.
