NIGP 61635: File Cards, Blank and Ruled, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 61635 File Cards, Blank and Ruled, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code covering stationery and office supply stock — specifically index cards and ruled file cards made from sustainably sourced or certified materials. State and local governments procure these items for general office operations, records management, and filing systems across administrative departments. The code narrows to environmentally certified products, meaning vendors must demonstrate compliance with eco-labeling standards or sustainable forestry certification (such as FSC or equivalent) in the source material or manufacturing process. Issuing bodies range across state departments, county offices, city procurement bureaus, school districts, and special-purpose districts that maintain central stationery inventories or operate distributed purchasing programs. Most acquisitions occur through standing orders, cooperative purchasing agreements, or small RFQs bundled with broader office-supplies solicitations rather than as standalone procurements.

The source material provided does not include a block of recent state and local contract opportunities under this code, and accordingly no recent solicitations, issuing bodies, geographic activity, or response dates can be named. Without posted opportunities to reference, the decision to pursue activity under NIGP 61635 depends on direct outreach to state and local procurement offices to identify whether environmentally certified file-card demand is being met through individual RFQs, cooperative-purchasing vehicles (such as state-wide or regional office-supplies schedules), or standing-supply agreements in your target markets.
