NIGP 52565: Library Forms, All Kinds: Circulation Record, Continuous, Strip, etc.

NIGP 52565 Library Forms, All Kinds: Circulation Record, Continuous, Strip, Etc., an Item code, encompasses library materials, cataloging services, and related processing supplies that state and local school districts procure to support media centers and library operations. Recent solicitations show that the code covers fully cataloged print and non-print library materials (books, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, eBooks), library processing services including MARC record creation, Dewey classification, bar coding with Code-39 symbology, security strips, and dust jacket application, as well as collection development tools and platforms compatible with library automation systems like Follett Destiny. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with independent school districts and county public school systems soliciting annually or biennially to establish one or more preferred vendors capable of delivering materials in call-number order with inside delivery, unboxing, and shelving services.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia posted two overlapping solicitations in July 2026—RFP 27-02 (due August 11, 2026) and RFP 2702 (due August 3, 2026)—both seeking full-service suppliers for approximately 51 media centers with firm pricing valid for 60 to 120 days, minimum three references from similarly sized districts, and annual contract terms with two optional one-year renewals. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued a catalog-bid RFP (#011326864, due April 8, 2026) for library books and supplies covering K-12 and higher-education materials, structured as percentage discounts off published catalog prices with multiple vendor awards intended to give district staff flexibility in selection. All three solicitations require commercial general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence minimum), workers' compensation, and vendor compliance with state debarment and conflict-of-interest certifications.
