NIGP 60568: Recycled Office Mechanical Aids, Small Machines and Apparatuses

NIGP 60568 Recycled Office Mechanical Aids, Small Machines And Apparatuses, an Item code, covers refurbished or second-hand office equipment and small mechanical devices — photocopiers, printers, calculators, electric staplers, paper shredders, binding machines, and similar desk-scale machinery — that state and local governments procure as cost-effective alternatives to new equipment purchases. The code serves issuing bodies across the full range of state and local procurement: state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts that prioritize budget efficiency and sustainability through equipment reuse and lifecycle extension.

No recent state or local contract opportunities are currently posted under this Item code. The absence of recent solicitation activity suggests either limited current demand for recycled office mechanical equipment across state and local jurisdictions, or that such purchases are being conducted through existing cooperative purchasing agreements, blanket purchase orders, or vendor-managed inventory arrangements rather than new competitive procurements.
