NIGP 61016: Carbon Paper, Register Machines

NIGP 61016 Carbon Paper, Register Machines is an Item code that captures supplies for legacy mechanical and electromechanical office equipment — though the recent state and local procurement record under this code is sparse and does not reflect active commodity purchasing aligned with its description. The source contains a single recent opportunity entry that mixes two unrelated solicitations: one from the City of Pasadena for a watershed park development and operations agreement (entirely outside NIGP scope), and one from Sacramento County Department of Airports for bag tags, thermal paper, and automated ticket and boarding pass stock. The latter is the only activity that maps to the code's commodity frame, but it represents a single isolated procurement rather than a pattern of state and local demand.

No geographic concentration, issuing-body mix, or representative pipeline emerges from the available record. Sacramento County's RFP 2026RFP0016 (issued on behalf of the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance cooperative purchasing program) sought bag tags, thermal paper, and ATB stock on an initial two-year contract with three optional one-year extensions and no stated minimum purchase guarantee, but the source provides no response date or award value. The absence of additional recent opportunities under this code suggests minimal ongoing state and local procurement activity for carbon paper and register machine supplies — a signal consistent with the obsolescence of the underlying equipment class in modern office environments.
