NIGP 61016: Carbon Paper, Register Machines

NIGP 61016 Carbon Paper, Register Machines is an Item code under which state and local governments procure thermal paper stock, bag tags, and automated ticket and boarding pass materials for airport and transit operations. The scope of work centers on blank thermal paper products and associated boarding pass or baggage-tag stock used in high-volume ticketing and passenger-processing environments, rather than carbon paper or mechanical register equipment as the legacy NIGP name suggests. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county airports and their cooperative purchasing alliances; the Sacramento County Department of Airports is a current buyer.

Sacramento County, Department of Airports issued RFP 2026RFP0016 on September 22, 2026, to establish a multi-year contract for bag tags, thermal paper, and automated ticket and boarding pass blank stock, with an initial two-year term and three optional one-year extensions. The RFP was issued by Sacramento County as lead agency on behalf of the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing program enabling other governmental, educational, and non-profit entities to use any resulting contract. The County reserves the right to issue one or multiple contracts on a line-item basis and does not guarantee minimum purchases. Geographic activity is currently limited to California based on available records.
