NIGP 16078: Tags and Fasteners

NIGP 16078 Tags And Fasteners is an Item code under which state and local governments procure identification tags, boarding pass stock, and related marking materials for operational use. Recent solicitations show airports and transit-adjacent agencies buying thermal paper boarding pass stock, automated ticket media, and baggage identification tags—consumable items tied to passenger-facing operations and inventory control.

Sacramento County Department of Airports issued an RFP (2026RFP0016) on September 22, 2026, for bag tags, thermal paper, and blank automated ticket and boarding pass (ATB) stock under a multi-year contract vehicle with an initial two-year term and three optional one-year extensions. The solicitation was issued on behalf of the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing program that extends any awarded contract to other eligible governmental, educational, and nonprofit entities; the County reserves the right to issue one or multiple contracts on a line-item basis and does not guarantee minimum purchases. The response date listed in the source is May 21, 2026, which predates the posting date of September 22, 2026, indicating a data inconsistency in the source. Geographic activity visible in recent posting is limited to Sacramento County and the broader California jurisdiction; no other state procurement activity under this code appears in the source block.
