NIGP 20673: Printers, Inkjet

NIGP 20673 Printers, Inkjet is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit supplies of inkjet printer cartridges and related printing consumables, typically as part of broader office equipment and supplies procurement. The recent activity shows counties and cooperative purchasing organizations acquiring original equipment manufacturer (OEM) toner and inkjet cartridges on annual contracts, often bundled with printer hardware acquisitions. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Collin County, Rockland County), regional cooperative purchasing programs (Purchasing Solutions Alliance, a nonprofit cooperative of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments), and state-level service cooperatives (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit). These jurisdictions typically structure purchases as either fixed-term annual supply contracts with optional renewal periods or as-needed delivery arrangements to support county-wide printing and imaging operations across multiple departments.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, New York, and the broader Sourcewell cooperative membership base across the United States and Canada. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IFB (solicitation PE77023NONST2027000000703) on August 18, 2026, seeking OEM toner and inkjet cartridges for the Department of Financial Services with a response date of September 14, 2026 and an addendum issued the same day.
