NIGP 61535: File Cards, Blank and Ruled

NIGP 61535 File Cards, Blank And Ruled is an Item code under which state and local governments procure index cards, file cards, and related blank or lined cardstock products for classroom, administrative, and office use. The work being solicited under this code reflects broader instructional and office-supply procurement by school districts and other public entities — the recent opportunities show index cards bundled as part of comprehensive supply contracts alongside paper products, binders, writing instruments, and classroom materials. School districts dominate the buying activity, purchasing cards in quantities ranging from hundreds to thousands of units per contract, with pricing fixed across multi-month terms and delivery to centralized warehouse locations.

Recent solicitations confirm geographic activity in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Washington County School District (Washington, likely North Carolina or other Mid-Atlantic jurisdiction) posted IFB WCSDSG002 on May 28, 2026, with bids due June 22, 2026, for mid-year instructional and paper supplies including index cards as a line item within a broader bid covering crayons, copy paper, folders, and athletic equipment — multiple contract awards anticipated based on cost and freight analysis. The School Board of Polk County, Florida, issued bid 029RW0126 on February 2, 2026 (response deadline January 8, 2026), establishing a six-month contract for classroom and office supplies including index cards, with an estimated total value of approximately $88,000 and delivery to the Bartow warehouse. Both solicitations required firm pricing across the contract term and named brand specifications (including Neenah for paper products in the Washington County bid). Polk County imposed additional compliance requirements including foreign-country-of-concern certification and E-Verify verification; out-of-state bidders faced state-preference evaluation.
