NIGP 39540: Continuous Forms, Carbonless Paper (Chemical Transfer)

NIGP 39540 Continuous Forms, Carbonless Paper (Chemical Transfer) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure carbonless forms, thermal paper stock, and related continuous-feed printing supplies for operational and administrative use. The scope of work includes blank thermal paper and automated ticket and boarding pass stock used by transit and airport authorities, as well as carbonless multi-part forms for general administrative documentation. Issuing bodies under this code span county transportation authorities, airports, and municipal departments; Sacramento County Department of Airports has posted recent RFPs for bag tags, thermal paper, and ATB stock as part of cooperative purchasing arrangements that extend to other governmental and educational entities through programs such as the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA).

Sacramento County represents the primary recent activity in this code, with an RFP issued for an initial two-year contract period with options for three additional one-year extensions under cooperative purchasing terms that allow other eligible governmental, educational, and non-profit entities to leverage awarded contracts. The RFP contemplates one or multiple awards on a line-item basis and does not guarantee minimum purchases. Geographic activity is concentrated in California, specifically Sacramento County; the source does not support identification of other recent state or local solicitation activity under this code.
