NIGP 52555: Daters, Pencil and Band Type; And Supplies

NIGP 52555 Daters, Pencil and Band Type; and Supplies is an Item code covering rubber stamp daters in pencil and band formats, along with associated consumable supplies for these marking devices. State and local governments use these codes to procure office daters — self-inking stamp tools that imprint dates on documents — for routine administrative processing across procurement offices, permitting departments, court systems, and general administrative functions. The scope encompasses the daters themselves and refill supplies such as ink pads, replacement bands, and spare parts that keep the devices operational. Issuing bodies span state departments, county offices, municipalities, and school districts, though recent procurement activity under this code is sparse.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under NIGP 52555. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IBFs, or ITBs naming this code in the available record, geographic concentration and representative buyer patterns cannot be characterized from active solicitation data. Professionals evaluating this code should treat current activity as minimal and monitor for future postings if date-stamp supply chains become a target category for their firm.
