NIGP 61649: Index Tabs: Celluloid, Cloth, etc., Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 61649 Index Tabs: Celluloid, Cloth, Etc., Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure adhesive index tabs and page markers made from celluloid, cloth, or similar materials where those products carry environmental certifications. The code targets office supply purchases where sustainability or eco-label compliance is a stated requirement or preference in the solicitation. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state agencies, county and municipal purchasing offices, school districts, and special-purpose authorities; the Item code sits narrowly within the broader office-supplies and paper-products domain and typically appears in consolidated RFQ or IFB notices bundling multiple SKUs rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle. Environmental certification—whether third-party eco-labels, recycled-content certifications, or compliance with state-level green purchasing mandates—is the key differentiator that routes a tabs-and-markers commodity to this specific code rather to a parent or sibling code.

The source provided does not include a block of recent state and local contract opportunities, addenda, or issuing-body activity records under NIGP 61649. Without posted solicitations, response dates, or named jurisdictions in the source material, no representative recent procurement can be named. When this code shows minimal recent-opportunity activity in your research tools, it may signal either low overall volume for environmentally certified tabs under this specific code designation, or a consolidation pattern where certified products are bundled into broader office-supply aggregates rather than procured as a line item in standalone notices.
