NIGP 20495: Word Processing Equipment, Accessories and Supplies (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 20495 Word Processing Equipment, Accessories And Supplies (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, covers consumables and peripherals for office word processing that do not fit more specific NIGP classifications — including ribbons, correction tape, typing paper, and related supplies purchased by state and local jurisdictions. The code captures routine procurement of items that fall outside dedicated commodity lines, typically used by administrative departments, clerical staff, and general office operations across agencies. State and local governments use this code for smaller, non-standardized office supply needs that arise from word processing and typing operations but lack a dedicated NIGP home.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under this NIGP code appear in the source. This signals low procurement activity at the RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB level — the code likely represents routine, low-dollar purchasing handled through standing supply contracts, cooperative agreements, or over-the-counter acquisition rather than formal competitive notices.
