NIGP 60062: Folding Machines

NIGP 60062 Folding Machines, an Item code, encompasses file folders, labels, and related organizational supplies that state and local governments procure for internal operations and specialized divisions. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing custom-printed reinforced end-tab folders, expandable folders, numeric and color-coded labels, composition books, binders, and related filing materials in quantities ranging from hundreds to thousands of units annually. The issuing bodies span county sheriffs' offices, school districts, and city departments—jurisdictions with high-volume administrative and educational paper-handling needs. Work under this code involves supplying standard and custom folders with specifications, managing multi-location deliveries, and guaranteeing pricing stability over contract terms typically ranging from six months to three years.

Recent activity concentrates in California and the Pacific Northwest, with representative opportunities including the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner's IFB for file folders and labels (due March 26, 2026, anticipating custom-printed folders, expandable Barkley folders, and year/numeric labels with delivery to two locations), Washington County School District's IFB for instructional and paper supplies (due June 22, 2026, spanning composition books, binders, folders, and clips across a seven-month contract), and the State of Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration's negotiated mailing equipment contract (due April 15, 2026, seeking manufacturers of mailing and organizational equipment for statewide procurement). Cooperative purchasing frameworks appear in select opportunities, with the Orange County contract permitting other governmental entities to utilize pricing under a two percent administrative rebate structure. Set-aside preferences, where stated, favor local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise certifications. Pricing submissions are typically firm fixed for the entire contract term, with increases prohibited in year one or requiring documented cost justification thereafter.
