NIGP 61520: Cash Register Paper

NIGP 61520 Cash Register Paper, an Item code, covers thermal paper, receipt stock, and related point-of-sale consumables that state and local governments procure for operational use across departments, facilities, and service points. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects practical procurement of specialized thermal stock — bag tags, thermal boarding pass paper, and automated ticket stock — rather than traditional cash register tape, signaling that government purchasing offices are sourcing thermal consumables for airport operations, transit ticketing, and similar high-volume administrative functions alongside or instead of retail-point applications.

Sacramento County, Department of Airports, issued RFP 2026RFP0016 on behalf of the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA) cooperative purchasing program in September 2026, seeking a multi-year contract (initial two years with three optional one-year extensions) for bag tags, thermal paper, and automated ticket and boarding pass stock. The RFP reserves the right to award one or multiple contracts by line item and does not guarantee minimum purchase volumes. The response deadline was June 16, 2026. This cooperative structure expands the contract's potential reach to eligible governmental, educational, and nonprofit entities participating in SCoPA, creating visibility for vendors across a broader jurisdictional base. Beyond this airport-focused opportunity, the recent opportunities block does not surface additional NIGP 61520 solicitations, indicating limited current activity. Geographic concentration appears limited to California (Sacramento County) based on the available source material.
