NIGP 50563: Paper Goods: Shirt Bands and Boards, etc.

NIGP 50563 Paper Goods: Shirt Bands And Boards, Etc., an Item code, covers laundry and apparel finishing supplies — shirt boards, collar stays, tissue paper, and related materials — that state and local governments procure for in-house laundry operations, uniform programs, and facility services. The code captures consumable paper and cardboard products used to support garment pressing, folding, storage, and distribution within public agencies. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments operating central laundry facilities, county and municipal public-works and facilities-management departments, school districts with on-site laundry capacity, and transit authorities managing uniforms for operators and maintenance staff.

The source provided contains no recent state or local contract opportunities under NIGP 50563. Activity under this Item code appears limited in the public-procurement marketplace, suggesting it functions primarily as a spot-buy or standing-order line item within broader facilities-management or uniform-supply contracts rather than as a standalone solicitation driver. Firms pursuing this code should monitor facilities-services and uniform RFPs issued by large state departments, regional transit authorities, and school districts with centralized laundry operations, where shirt boards and collar stays typically appear as line-item requirements within comprehensive service packages.
