NIGP 61056: Ribbons, Computer and Data Processing, All Types (for Tab See 610-73)

NIGP 61056 Ribbons, Computer And Data Processing, All Types (Item) covers consumable ribbon, film, and laminate supplies for specialized printing equipment — primarily re-transfer films, dye-sublimation ribbons with fluorescent capability, clear laminate patches, and blank ID card stock for card-issuance systems. State and local governments buy these supplies as recurring consumables for identity document production, law enforcement training facilities, and technology infrastructure refresh cycles. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas), county governments (Colorado), and school districts (Florida), each procuring either direct consumables or establishing vendor relationships through technology procurement frameworks that bundle multiple equipment and supply categories together.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Colorado, and Florida. The State of Texas solicited ID printing materials (INF20260256, due July 21, 2026) for Magicard Prima series printers at HPD Training Academy in Houston, requesting five units of re-transfer film, seventeen units of YMCK-UV dye ribbon, six units of clear laminate patches, and ten boxes of CR80 white PVC ID cards. Garfield County, Colorado posted a thermal-ribbon solicitation (NPSS1CFAA20270000041, due July 13, 2026) for the John R Wald Company with minimal scope detail disclosed.
