NIGP 61503: Adding Machine and Calculator Paper (Rolls)

NIGP 61503 Adding Machine And Calculator Paper (Rolls) is an Item code that nominally addresses paper roll supplies for mechanical calculators and adding machines, but the recent solicitations indexed under this code do not reflect that legacy scope. The source contains one indexed opportunity that is substantively unrelated to paper rolls: Sacramento County, Department of Airports is soliciting a multi-year contract for bag tags, thermal paper, and Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass (ATB) stock via RFP. This suggests the code taxonomy may be capturing thermal and specialty papers used in airport check-in and boarding operations, or the indexing is misaligned with the actual goods being procured. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county airports, and the Sacramento County opportunity was issued through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing vehicle enabling Sacramento County and other eligible governmental, educational, and non-profit entities to leverage shared contracts.

The geographic spread is limited in the recent-opportunities block; only Sacramento County, California appears. The Sacramento County RFP for bag tags, thermal paper, and ATB stock calls for an initial two-year contract term with the option to extend for three additional one-year periods at the same terms and conditions, with no guaranteed minimum purchase. Sacramento County reserves the right to issue one or multiple contracts on a line-item basis and notes that any selected vendor may be used by additional SCoPA participating entities, expanding potential volume beyond the county alone. Response details and specific dollar values are not provided in the source.
