NIGP 61014: Carbon Paper, Pencil

NIGP 61014 Carbon Paper, Pencil is an Item code under which state and local governments procure carbonless and thermal paper products, bag tags, boarding passes, and ticket stock for operational and transactional use. The recent solicitation activity shows Sacramento County Department of Airports procuring thermal paper and Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass (ATB) stock through an RFP, reflecting the code's application to high-volume consumables that support airport operations, ticketing, and logistics workflows. Issuing bodies under this code span county departments and regional purchasing alliances; Sacramento County issued this RFP as the lead participating agency for the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing program that extends any resulting contract to other eligible governmental, educational, and non-profit entities.

Sacramento County's solicitation for bag tags, thermal boarding pass, and ATB ticket stock (RFP 2026RFP0016, due May 21, 2026) represents active procurement in this category, with the County reserving the right to issue one or multiple contracts by line item and explicitly stating no guaranteed minimum purchase. The contract structure calls for an initial two-year term with three optional one-year extensions. Geographic activity is visible in California, specifically the Sacramento region, though the cooperative purchasing vehicle extends potential award usage across multiple jurisdictions statewide. No other recent opportunities in the source support broader regional characterization at this time.
