NIGP 61084: Ribbons, Typewriter and Word Processing, Film

NIGP 61084 Ribbons, Typewriter and Word Processing, Film is an Item code that captures a narrow but persistent slice of state and local procurement: typewriter and word processing machine supplies, primarily ribbons and related consumables, alongside legacy office equipment and accessories still in use across correctional, administrative, and operational settings. The source shows this code active in recent solicitations focused on institutional canteen resale and general office supply contracts where typewriters and typewriter supplies remain line items within broader electronic-equipment or supplies bundles. State and local governments continue to stock these items for facilities that maintain older office technology, particularly correctional institutions where standardized, durable, tamper-resistant equipment remains operationally preferable to modern alternatives.

The Missouri Department of Corrections issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB DOC-0000000035-SL) posted January 27, 2026, with a February 24, 2026 due date, for electronic items for canteen resale across nineteen correctional facilities; typewriter and typewriter supplies were among the 36 to 39 line items in this blanket purchase agreement with an estimated annual volume of $441,538. The contract features a one-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals, firm-fixed pricing with freight prepaid and FOB Destination, and 90-day replacement warranties. Evaluation criteria include preference points for Buy American compliance, service-disabled veteran business enterprises, and organizations for the blind or sheltered workshops. This Missouri-based procurement is the most recent documented activity under the code in the source material.
