The Sacramento County Department of Airports, operating through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA) cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 2026RFP0016 on September 22, 2026, for bag tags, thermal boarding pass stock, and automated ticket and boarding pass (ATB) blank stock with a due date of May 21, 2026. The contract provides for an initial two-year term with three optional one-year extensions at the same terms and conditions, with the County reserving the right to issue one or multiple contracts on a line-item basis and explicitly noting no minimum purchase guarantee. The SCoPA cooperative structure enables Sacramento County and other eligible governmental, educational, and non-profit entities to leverage the resulting contract, extending potential demand across multiple participating jurisdictions. Geographic activity is concentrated in California, specifically Sacramento County, with the airport department as the primary issuing body. Recent opportunity volume under this code remains limited; the single identified solicitation represents current state and local procurement activity in this commodity class.
