NIGP 310: Envelopes, Plain (see Classes 525, 615, 640, 655, 665, and 966 for Other Types)

NIGP 310 Envelopes, Plain is a Class code under which state and local governments procure standard commercial envelopes—primarily No. 10 business envelopes, utility bill envelopes with and without windows, and related envelope formats—for administrative and departmental operations. Recent solicitations show agencies buying envelope stock in volume for routine office distribution, custom-printed envelopes for specific departmental functions such as election administration and utility billing, and integrated office paper product bundles that bundle envelopes with copy paper and specialty paper supplies. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county procurement departments (Williamson County, Marion County, Indian River County, Collin County), municipalities (City of St. Petersburg, City of West Sacramento), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, Parkway School District), and special-purpose agencies (Board of Elections of Cleveland). Texas and Florida show the most recent activity, with multiple concurrent solicitations from state-level procurement divisions and city governments in both states.
