NIGP 61034: Recycled Ribbons

NIGP 61034 Recycled Ribbons, an Item code, covers replacement ribbon cartridges and spools reconditioned from used originals — products state and local governments purchase as consumable supplies for impact printers and legacy dot-matrix equipment still in operational use across administrative offices, school districts, and certain back-office functions. The code sits within the broader office supplies and forms family and serves jurisdictions seeking cost reduction and waste diversion in printing operations. Issuing bodies range across state procurement offices, county administrative departments, city purchasing bureaus, and school districts, though the source contains no recent solicitation records that name specific repeat buyers or issuing bodies under this Item code.

The source does not identify any recent state and local contract opportunities solicited under NIGP 61034. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs naming this code, the geographic footprint and current market activity remain uncharacterized. Business development professionals should monitor cooperative purchasing catalogs and state purchasing office contract lists for recycled ribbon vendors, as demand for this commodity typically flows through standing supply agreements rather than active competitive bidding cycles.
