NIGP 616 Office Supplies, General, Environmentally Certified By An Agency Accepted Certification Entity is a Class code encompassing basic office supplies and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) materials that state and local governments procure through competitive bids and RFQs. Recent solicitations show municipalities buying general office supplies (pens, pencils, notepads, binders, scissors, tape, and related stationery) alongside comprehensive MRO supply contracts spanning lighting, safety, cleaning, electrical, plumbing, and fleet maintenance materials across multiple product categories—often aggregated under blanket purchase agreements with five-year terms and multiple awards per category to ensure vendor capacity. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices, municipal utilities, school districts, and county governments, with the City of Tucson, City of Milpitas, City of Lompoc, City of Pasadena, and District of Columbia Department of Finance and Services appearing as repeat buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, and Florida, with secondary activity across Kentucky and the District of Columbia.
