NIGP 60505: Collators, Mechanical, Table Top Type; And Accessories

NIGP 60505 Collators, Mechanical, Table Top Type; And Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure standalone collating and booklet-making equipment with associated maintenance and support. Recent solicitation activity shows municipalities buying integrated air-fed vertical collating systems that combine multiple functions—collating, saddle stitching, folding, stacking, and trimming—in a single production unit, typically replacing legacy equipment and bundling long-term service and parts availability into a single contract. Issuing bodies include city finance and administrative departments operating in-house print or mail services, with the City of Phoenix Finance Department as a documented buyer of this equipment class.

The City of Phoenix Finance Department, Central Procurement Division, posted IFB 270411 in September 2026 for supply, delivery, installation, and five-year maintenance of one air-fed vertical collating system with three collator towers. The IFB was due September 18, 2026, and is subject to DBE-N compliance. The contract includes firm and fixed pricing for the initial two years, with annual increase provisions thereafter; a five-year initial term with five optional one-year extensions at the City's discretion; full-service maintenance with a two-hour callback requirement and 24-hour onsite response during standard business hours; local parts availability within 48 hours; and eight hours of staff training. Delivery to Phoenix was required within 60 days of purchase order receipt, with installation and operational readiness within 30 days of delivery at no additional cost. No other recent state and local opportunities under this code appear in the source.
