NIGP 60080: Postage Meter Supplies

NIGP 60080 Postage Meter Supplies, an Item code, encompasses consumable supplies and accessories used with postage metering equipment—ink cartridges, toner, and replacement parts—along with postage rental services and meter maintenance contracts that state and local governments procure to operate their mailroom operations. Recent solicitations show that while some jurisdictions use this code narrowly for physical supplies, most state-level and regional cooperative procurements frame it as part of comprehensive mailroom equipment and services packages that include postage meter rentals, maintenance agreements (both annual flat-fee and per-call hourly rates), and related software or integration services. State agencies, county governments, city utilities departments, and special districts issue RFPs, RFQs, and change-order notices under this code. Repeat buyers at the state level—particularly Illinois, New Jersey, and Arizona through NASPO ValuePoint—indicate sustained demand from larger purchasing organizations that consolidate mailroom spend across multiple departments or participating entities.

Activity concentrates in the Midwest and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Illinois (two opportunities), New Jersey (statewide mailroom equipment contract), and Arizona (NASPO ValuePoint cooperative RFP open to all 50 states and territories). Representative opportunities include the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury's October 23, 2026 RFQ for T0200 mailroom equipment, accessories, supplies, and maintenance—a four-year Small Business Subcontracting Set-Aside requiring Original Equipment Manufacturer or Authorized Dealer status with in-state service capacity, with postage meter rental at $30.00 monthly after discount and annual maintenance at $293.25 after discount; the State of Arizona NASPO ValuePoint RFP (due June 23, 2026) for mailing and shipping equipment and related solutions across 44 categories available to eligible public and nonprofit organizations nationwide; the State of Illinois extension (May 22, 2026) of a NASPO ValuePoint piggyback for mailing equipment through Pitney Bowes running May 15, 2026 through May 14, 2027; and the State of Illinois Healthcare and Family Services sole-source award to Pitney Bowes for postage meter downloads (contract value $8.4 million annually, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). The City of Arlington, Texas also solicited on October 15, 2026 for an annual requirements contract for plastic meter boxes and lids through Euna Procurement, though this opportunity addresses water utility equipment rather than postage supplies.
