NIGP 17562: Papers, Laboratory

NIGP 17562 Papers, Laboratory is an Item code under which state and local governments procure thermal paper stock, bag tags, and boarding pass materials for airport and transportation operations. The Sacramento County Department of Airports is currently soliciting bag tags, thermal paper, and Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass (ATB) stock under an RFP issued through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing vehicle that extends contract availability to other eligible governmental, educational, and non-profit entities. Counties and regional airport authorities represent the primary issuing bodies under this code; the Sacramento County Department of Airports appears as a repeat buyer through cooperative purchasing arrangements that pool demand across multiple jurisdictions.

Activity under the code concentrates in California, as evidenced by the Sacramento County RFP. The Sacramento County Department of Airports RFP, issued September 22, 2026, solicits bag tags, thermal boarding pass stock, and ATB ticket stock (blank) under an initial two-year contract with three optional one-year extensions; the County reserves the right to issue one or multiple contracts by line item and does not guarantee minimum purchase volumes. Responses were due May 21, 2026. The cooperative purchasing structure through SCoPA signals potential for expanded volume across multiple governmental entities beyond Sacramento County's direct procurement.
