NIGP 60050: Counting Devices: Ticometers, etc. (Paper, Tickets, etc.) (for Coins See 600-33)

NIGP 60050 Counting Devices: Ticometers, Etc. (Paper, Tickets, Etc.), an Item code, addresses mechanical and electronic devices used by state and local governments to count, meter, or track discrete items such as paper, tickets, tokens, or similar materials — excluding coin-counting equipment, which falls under a separate code. The code captures both traditional ticometer and ticket-counter hardware and contemporary metering solutions for inventory control, access management, and transaction tracking in public facilities.

State and local governments solicit under this code when they need to monitor material consumption, control access to services or facilities, or track transaction volumes in settings such as transit stations, parking facilities, government offices, and public utilities. The issuing-body mix includes state departments, county governments, municipalities, and transit authorities that operate ticketed services, metered access points, or material-tracking systems. The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code, indicating minimal current procurement activity in this commodity category.
