NIGP 61619: Calendars, Calendar Pads and Stands, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 61619 Calendars, Calendar Pads And Stands, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code that captures calendar printing and production services with environmental compliance requirements, specifically large-volume, specialized calendar projects that municipalities and county environmental departments commission for public distribution and internal use. The scope spans full-service printing production—including design coordination, material sourcing with post-consumer waste and sustainable forestry compliance, color proofing, and delivery logistics—where environmental certifications and waste-content specifications are binding contract requirements. Issuing bodies under this code include county environmental departments and county school boards, reflecting the environmental and educational missions that drive demand for certified-paper calendars.
