NIGP 60069: Micrographics Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 60069 Micrographics Equipment and Supplies, an Item code, encompasses equipment and materials used to capture, store, and retrieve microfilm and microfiche records—a legacy document-management technology that state and local governments continue to procure for archival preservation, courthouse records management, and historical document storage where digital migration is incomplete or regulatory compliance requires maintained microform collections. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, municipal agencies, and special-purpose districts such as cooperative purchasing vehicles; Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based government service cooperative, has recently issued multistate solicitations on behalf of participating entities across multiple jurisdictions. The scope of work includes micrographics equipment (microfilm cameras, reader-printers, scanners, and retrieval systems), supplies (microfilm stock, microfiche cartridges, development chemicals, and storage media), and related maintenance and support services for agencies retaining microform-dependent workflows.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment (posted May 12, 2026; due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating counties in Washington State (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and other public entities nationwide, establishing a cooperative contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofits across the United States and Canada. The RFP was solicited under Washington law (RCW 39.34) and submissions were required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. No specific award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information was identified in the available documentation. Recent activity under this code reflects limited current solicitation volume; the field remains concentrated in jurisdictions with established microform archives and regulatory retention requirements, particularly in county courthouse systems and state record-keeping agencies.
