NIGP 60555: Paper Trimmers, Hand, Blade Type

NIGP 60555 Paper Trimmers, Hand, Blade Type is an Item code covering manual paper-cutting tools that state and local governments procure as part of broader office supply portfolios. The code captures hand-operated blade trimmers used in administrative, classroom, and facility settings where small-volume paper cutting is routine. State and local buyers source these items through cooperative purchasing vehicles and individual RFQs as components of larger office supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements.
