NIGP 61560: Office Supplies, General (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 61560 Office Supplies, General (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure standard office supplies, classroom materials, paper products, and related goods on both as-needed and warehouse-stocking bases. Recent solicitations show procurement ranging from comprehensive multi-item catalogs supplying dozens of line items to specialized purchases of copy paper, art supplies, or reflective vinyl materials, with issuing bodies spanning school districts, counties, municipalities, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. The work involves vendors supplying consumable goods directly to central warehouses, individual school sites, county departments, or city offices, often with online ordering systems, fixed pricing over contract terms, and delivery timelines ranging from next-day to ten-business-day windows. Issuing bodies include the Orange County Transportation Authority (California), City of Lompoc (California), Tupelo Public School District (Mississippi), Pinellas County School District (Florida), Cuyahoga County (Ohio), City of Philadelphia, Rockwood School District (Missouri), Bernalillo County (New Mexico), and school districts in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, suggesting activity across diverse jurisdictions and agency types. School districts represent the largest share of recent activity, followed by county purchasing offices and municipal departments.

Geographic concentration appears highest in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California, with notable activity also in Ohio, New Mexico, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania. Representative recent opportunities include the Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB 250428 for oversize vinyl material supplies due August 6, 2026, budgeted at $110,000 for a one-year term and requiring DBE participation and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance; Pinellas County School District's ITB 26HO014 for 104 line items of classroom and office supplies due April 30, 2026, with an approximate annual contract value of $330,000 and responses submitted electronically via OpenGov; the City of Lompoc's RFQ 2025-RFQ-023DW for 42 basic office supply items due October 24, 2025; and Bernalillo County's RFB 34-26 for comprehensive office supplies with an estimated annual spend of $316,000 and bids due February 20, 2026. Cooperative purchasing vehicles including the Purchasing Solutions Alliance (Texas) and the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies also actively solicit under this code, with the PSA RFP 26-223 due June 11, 2026, and the AEPA cooperative opportunity due August 13, 2026, both seeking vendors capable of serving multiple state and local members.
