NIGP 61021: Carbon Paper, Typewriter

NIGP 61021 Carbon Paper, Typewriter is an Item code that encompasses carbon paper and related office supplies used in manual typing and document duplication. The scope of work under this code reflects declining demand for traditional typewriter supplies; state and local governments procure carbon paper primarily for specialized administrative, legal, and archival uses where analog documentation remains required or preferred. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county purchasing offices, city procurement bureaus, and state departments, though activity levels vary significantly by jurisdiction and fiscal year.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities specifically soliciting carbon paper or typewriter supplies. The two opportunities cited in the most-recent block — the City of Pasadena's RFP for watershed park development and operations (due February 27, 2026) and Sacramento County's RFP for bag tags, thermal paper, and automated ticketing stock (issued as a cooperative purchasing vehicle through SCoPA) — do not reference carbon paper or typewriter supplies. Without documented recent solicitations in this commodity line, the current procurement activity level under NIGP 61021 cannot be characterized by geographic spread, issuing-body concentration, or representative opportunity detail.
