NIGP 20742 Diskettes, Disk Packs, Floppy Diskettes, Labels, Etc., an Item code, covers physical media storage and labeling materials that state and local governments purchase for library systems, archives, and data management operations. Recent procurement activity under this code shows that public libraries are the primary buyers, soliciting suppliers for comprehensive library materials services that bundle print books (hardcover, paperback, large print, reinforced binding), audiovisual media (DVDs, Blu-ray, music CDs, audiobooks), cataloging records in standard formats (AACR2 or RDA), and physical processing services including covering, barcoding, labeling, and security tagging. County library systems are the dominant issuing bodies, with service delivery requirements spanning multiple branch locations and satellite facilities.

The County of Orange, California, is actively procuring under this code through an RFP (solicitation 0123029901JG) issued May 12, 2026, on behalf of the Orange County Public Libraries system, which operates 29 branches plus one satellite location.

Qualified respondents must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience serving comparable public agencies, preferably similar-sized library systems. The contract term is five calendar years commencing September 15, 2026, structured as a firm fixed-fee usage contract with no guaranteed minimum order quantities and no automatic renewal. The County offers a five percent scoring adjustment for certified Orange County Local Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises. Pricing is submitted on a per-unit basis reflecting discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price for each material format, with separate charges for cataloging and physical processing; all costs are inclusive of freight and delivery except California state sales tax.
