NIGP 25118: Cards, Tabulating, Special (for Automatic and Manual Data Processing Systems), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 25118 Cards, Tabulating, Special (For Automatic And Manual Data Processing Systems), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code covering specialized data processing cards and tabulating media that meet environmental certification standards for use in automated and manual systems. State and local governments procure these products when legacy or specialized automated systems — including older keypunch equipment, sorters, and interpreters — remain in operation alongside modern infrastructure, or when jurisdictions maintain manual data-processing workflows that rely on physical tabulating cards for record-keeping, inventory management, or archival purposes. The code targets environmentally certified variants, reflecting procurement requirements aligned with green purchasing mandates and sustainability commitments at the state and local level.

The source provided contains no recent state or local contract opportunities soliciting goods or services under NIGP 25118. Without active posting data, issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, and representative recent procurements cannot be characterized from current market activity. Procurement professionals should monitor cooperative purchasing catalogs and state-level environmental product lists to track whether this code sees sustained demand, as the prevalence of environmentally certified tabulating cards in state and local purchasing depends on the operational footprint of legacy automated data systems and manual card-based workflows — factors that vary significantly by jurisdiction and industry sector.
