NIGP 61581: Staples

NIGP 61581 Staples is an Item code under which state and local governments procure bulk classroom and office supplies — writing instruments, paper products, binding materials, adhesives, instructional supplies, and general office consumables — for delivery to school district warehouses and administrative facilities. School districts dominate solicitation activity under this code, purchasing supplies to support instructional and administrative operations across multiple campuses and departments. The scope of work reflects operational restocking rather than project-specific or specialty procurement; contracts typically span multiple months and establish pricing for high-volume, repetitive ordering.

School districts in Florida and Mississippi have posted recent activity. The School Board of Polk County issued ITB 003RW0727 on August 24, 2026 (response date July 16, 2026, already closed) for a six-month classroom and office supplies stock contract with delivery to its warehouse in Bartow, Florida. Washington County School District in Mississippi conducted IFB WCSDSG002 (response date June 22, 2026) through its Warehouse Purchasing department for instructional and paper supplies, with the contract term running through January 18, 2027; that solicitation specified usage quantities ranging from single units to over 14,000 gluesticks and 6,166 cases of copy paper, and referenced brand-specific line items from manufacturers including Crayola, Elmer's, Sharpie, Expo, 3M, and Neenah. Both procurements required compliance with Drug Free Workplace Certification, Affidavits Regarding Coercion for Labor and Services, and price guarantees across the full contract term.
