NIGP 49565: Museum Preparations and Supplies: Labels, etc.

NIGP 49565 Museum Preparations And Supplies: Labels, Etc., an Item code, covers specialized labeling, identification, and curatorial materials that state and local governments purchase for museums, historical societies, and cultural institutions. State and local procurement activity under this code includes archival labels, specimen identification tags, conservation-grade adhesives and mounting materials, display case hardware, artifact storage containers, and related museum-grade supplies that support collection organization, preservation, and public interpretation. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span state cultural agencies, municipal museums, county historical societies, and public libraries with permanent collections. The scope of procurement reflects the operational demands of artifact curation and exhibition rather than general office supplies, with a focus on acid-free, archival-quality materials that meet conservation standards.

The source does not identify recent state and local contract opportunities posted under NIGP 49565 with specific issuing bodies, notice types, response dates, or geographic concentration. This code sees limited activity in the public procurement record relative to broader museum and cultural-services categories.
