NIGP 61042: Ribbons, Addressing Machine, All Types

NIGP 61042 Ribbons, Addressing Machine, All Types is an Item code under which state and local governments procure replacement ribbons and consumables for addressing machines and related mail-processing equipment. The code covers ribbon stock in various formats and materials designed for mechanical addressing systems commonly used in government mail rooms, records management operations, and administrative functions across jurisdictions. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county assessor offices, municipal administrative departments, school district central offices, and county clerk operations that maintain high-volume mail processing infrastructure.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the procurement record for this code. The absence of posted solicitations suggests minimal current activity or intermittent demand, typical for consumable supplies with long shelf life and predictable replacement cycles that may be sourced through standing orders, cooperative purchasing agreements, or blanket contracts rather than competitive bidding.
