NIGP 61033: Recycled Carbon Paper

NIGP 61033 Recycled Carbon Paper, an Item code, covers thermal paper stock, blank ticket and boarding pass materials, and related specialty printing substrates that state and local governments procure for airport operations, transit systems, and similar high-volume transactional environments. The code captures the sourcing of pre-printed and blank thermal paper products used in automated ticketing, boarding pass generation, baggage handling, and point-of-sale systems where durability and thermal-transfer compatibility are operational requirements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county airports, transit authorities, and municipal agencies managing passenger-facing or cargo-handling infrastructure. The work involves supply agreements typically structured as multi-year contracts with volume commitments and renewal options, often issued through cooperative purchasing vehicles to aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

Sacramento County, Department of Airports, is currently soliciting thermal paper and Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass (ATB) Stock (Blank) through RFP 2026RFP0016 with a response date of May 21, 2026, under a cooperative purchasing model managed by the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA) on behalf of eligible governmental, educational, and non-profit entities. The contract will run for an initial two-year period with three optional one-year extensions, with the County reserving the right to award one or multiple contracts on a line-item basis. The solicitation does not guarantee minimum purchases and allows participating entities in the SCoPA cooperative to utilize any resulting contract, expanding demand visibility beyond Sacramento County alone. Recent activity is concentrated in California, with Sacramento County representing the primary documented opportunity in this code space.
