NIGP 62050: Ink Refills (Not Ballpoint), Drawing and Writing

NIGP 62050 Ink Refills (Not Ballpoint), Drawing And Writing, an Item code, encompasses fountain pen ink, marker refills, technical drawing pen cartridges, and similar non-ballpoint writing fluid products that state and local governments procure for office operations, educational use, and specialized technical applications. The code serves administrative and operational needs across general-purpose office supply requisitions, where these items typically appear as line entries in broader stationery and supplies solicitations rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies sourcing under this code span state purchasing offices, county administrative departments, municipal supply operations, and school districts acquiring consumable writing supplies for classrooms and administrative functions.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the available records for NIGP 62050. The code represents a low-volume, commodity-class procurement category that most jurisdictions source through established blanket orders, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or general office-supply contracts rather than dedicated solicitations. Business development professionals should monitor this code through existing regional cooperative purchasing catalogs and state master agreements for office supplies, where ink refills typically compete as one line item among hundreds. When pursuing this category, focus on contract vehicles already in place with major state purchasing consortia or school-district cooperative buying groups rather than anticipating standalone RFQs or ITBs.
