NIGP 25130: Cards, Tabulating, Standard (for EDP Systems), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 25130 Cards, Tabulating, Standard (For EDP Systems), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code covering punch cards, data-entry cards, and related tabulating media designed for electronic data processing systems, with a focus on products meeting environmental certification standards. State and local governments procure these items primarily for legacy system operations, archival data storage, and specialized computing environments where punched-card input remains integral to departmental workflows. Issuing bodies range across state departments managing historical information systems, county records offices, and municipal IT operations that maintain older mainframe or minicomputer infrastructures alongside modern platforms.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Activity in this Item category is minimal in current procurement records, consistent with the shift away from punched-card technology toward digital data formats and cloud-based systems across state and local government.
