NIGP 52570: Library Labeling Supplies: Labels, Letters, Signals, etc.

NIGP 52570 Library Labeling Supplies: Labels, Letters, Signals, Etc., an Item code, encompasses the consumable adhesive labels, property markers, and processing supplies that public libraries use to organize and identify their collections. State and local library systems procure under this code as part of broader public library material and cataloging support contracts, where labeling supplies—including property labels, spine labels, collection stickers, barcode application, RFID tag activation, and mylar jackets—are bundled with print material acquisition and optional processing services. The issuing bodies are primarily county and municipal library systems managing multi-branch operations; recent activity shows county-level library procurement agencies driving solicitations to support centralized ordering and distribution models serving adult, young adult, and children's audiences across multiple service locations and languages.

The County estimates annual expenditure of approximately $400,000 for print materials; the resulting contract runs two years with up to three additional one-year renewal options. The procurement is concentrated in California, with Ventura County Library representing the primary identifiable recent activity under this code.
