NIGP 60044: Copier Vending Machines, Accessories and Supplies

NIGP 60044 Copier Vending Machines, Accessories and Supplies, an Item code, encompasses lease and rental of copier and digital duplicator equipment, consumable supplies such as toner and replacement parts for specific copier brands, and vending machine hardware and software platforms that distribute medical and office supplies. State and local governments buy this code primarily through school districts and municipalities sourcing copier equipment and supplies for routine district and departmental operations, and increasingly through emergency services and healthcare departments deploying smart vending machines and lockers for controlled inventory distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. Recent solicitations show school districts pursuing lease-rental arrangements and commodity supplies, while cities are integrating vending machines with inventory management software as part of broader managed services contracts that bundle equipment, supplies, and technical support.

School districts in Texas and Georgia represent the primary recent issuing bodies, with Elgin Independent School District (Texas) posting RFP 202613 in September 2026 for copier and digital duplicator lease and rental due November 5, 2026, restricted to vendors holding existing cooperative purchasing or state contracts; and Cobb County School District (Georgia) posting IFB B27021 in August 2026 for Toshiba copier supplies due September 10, 2026. The City of Tucson Fire Department and Police Department jointly procured VendNovation vending machines and smart lockers for EMS pharmaceuticals and supplies distribution under RFP 260217 (due June 24, 2026), requiring Arizona pharmacy board licensure and FDA/DEA compliance, with 251 line items and estimated annual volumes up to 120,000 units. The City of Tucson also issued RFP 260204 for Managed Print Services covering 324 multi-function copiers and 193 network printers across 107 locations (due May 27, 2026), reflecting enterprise-scale copier fleet management integrated with Microsoft 365 and secure print software. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 as a regional and national cooperative framework covering law enforcement equipment available to multiple Washington counties and public entities nationwide.
