NIGP 60585: Stapling Machines, Electric; And Parts

NIGP 60585 Stapling Machines, Electric; And Parts is an Item code covering electric stapling equipment and associated replacement components that state and local governments procure for office operations. The scope of work includes standalone electric stapling devices, portable and stationary models, and spare parts such as staple cartridges, feed mechanisms, and internal components. State and local issuing bodies — including county offices, city departments, school districts, and regional administrative agencies — source these machines through small RFQs and IFBs to support routine office equipment needs, often bundled with other office supply and equipment contracts. The code reflects procurement of commodity-level equipment with straightforward technical specifications and short lead times, typically awarded to established office equipment vendors and distributors.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the available record for this code. The absence of posted solicitations suggests either sustained inventory maintenance through standing cooperative purchasing agreements, spot buys under broader office equipment contracts, or infrequent replacement cycles that do not generate visible RFQ or IFB activity in the current period. Business development professionals should monitor cooperative purchasing catalogs and state-level office equipment contracts as the primary pipeline for this commodity, rather than expect a steady flow of standalone solicitations.
