NIGP 61595: Wastebaskets, Office, All Types

NIGP 61595 Wastebaskets, Office, All Types is an Item code under which state and local governments procure office supplies through catalog-bid and as-needed purchasing vehicles, with wastebaskets and receptacles typically appearing as line items within broader office-supply contracts rather than as standalone purchases. State and local issuing bodies—including independent school districts and county governments—use this code to establish vendor panels and blanket agreements for office furnishings and supplies, often bundling wastebaskets with desks, filing cabinets, and other office equipment and accessories. Procurement vehicles favor multiple-award RFPs and RFBs with discounted pricing off vendor catalog lists, firm fixed-price quotes, or percentage discounts, structured to give district and county employees flexibility in sourcing items as needed throughout the contract term.

Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, posted RFP 011326-869 on March 21, 2026, seeking discount proposals for office supplies and furniture for the 2026-2027 school year with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, and contract term of September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with options to extend for two additional one-year periods. Bernalillo County, New Mexico, through its Procurement and Business Services Department, issued RFB 34-26 on February 1, 2026, for a comprehensive office-supplies contract with an estimated annual spend of approximately $316,000, a five-year term with one five-year renewal option, and a February 20, 2026, response deadline. Both jurisdictions allow multiple awards and require vendors to meet specific fill rates, delivery timeframes (next-day or two-day), and electronic catalog submissions. Recent activity spans Texas and New Mexico, with no federal set-asides but local preferences available in New Mexico under state statute and county ordinance.
