NIGP 25172: Roll Paper, Thermal (for EDP Portable Terminals), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 25172 Roll Paper, Thermal (For Edp Portable Terminals), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure thermal paper stock for airport operations, point-of-sale systems, and portable terminal applications. The Sacramento County Department of Airports issued a multi-year RFP (2026RFP0016) in September 2026 for bag tags, thermal boarding pass paper, and Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass (ATB) stock, reflecting the primary use case in this code — airline and airport ground operations where thermal receipt and label stock must meet both performance and environmental certification standards. The solicitation is being issued by Sacramento County as lead agency for SCoPA, the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance, a cooperative purchasing vehicle that extends any resulting contract to other eligible governmental, educational, and non-profit entities participating in the alliance. This cooperative structure signals potential for expanded volume if a vendor is selected and other jurisdictions access the resulting contract.

The source provides limited geographic and issuing-body detail beyond the Sacramento County opportunity. The RFP response deadline is May 21, 2026, with an initial contract term of two years and three optional one-year extensions. Sacramento County reserves discretion to issue one or multiple contracts on a line-item basis and does not guarantee minimum purchase volumes. The cooperative purchasing vehicle suggests that vendors awarded under this code gain visibility and potential volume across multiple public entities — a material advantage for suppliers positioned to serve airport operations and other high-volume thermal-paper applications across the alliance membership.
