NIGP 30536: Drafting Paper

NIGP 30536 Drafting Paper, an Item code, encompasses bulk art paper products that state and local governments—particularly school districts—procure for educational and administrative use. The scope includes a wide range of specialized papers such as charcoal paper, construction paper, drawing paper, newsprint, sketch pads, finger paint paper, fadeless art paper, metallic foil papers, origami papers, railroad board, tag board, kraft paper, art tissue, and watercolor paper. Procurement under this code reflects the operational needs of K–12 school systems to supply art programs and classroom instruction with consumable paper products. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida represents the primary issuing-body type for this code—independent school districts managing centralized purchasing for multiple schools and warehouse distribution.

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida issued ITB 19200044BLL in September 2019 for a one-year bulk art paper supply contract covering 24 line items, with sealed bids due October 1, 2019. The procurement applied a 5 percent Florida preference to eligible bidders and awarded the contract to six vendors—Pyramid School Products, Smith Office & Computer Supply, Cascade School Supplies, S&S Worldwide, Blick Art Materials, and School Specialty, Inc.—for a total of $43,089.75. Products were required for F.O.B. delivery to the district's warehouse at 1722 W. Airport Blvd., Sanford, Florida, with Net 30 payment terms. Estimated order quantities ranged from 5 units for specialty items to 1,800 units for high-volume consumables such as white construction paper, reflecting the scale of school-district procurement in this category.
