NIGP 62081: Pen Refills (General Writing Types): Ball Point, Nylon Tip, Plastic Tip, Roller Ball, etc.

NIGP 62081 Pen Refills (General Writing Types): Ball Point, Nylon Tip, Plastic Tip, Roller Ball, Etc., an Item code, covers replacement refills for standard writing instruments that state and local governments procure for office and field operations. The refills themselves—ball-point, roller ball, nylon-tip, and plastic-tip cartridges—are consumable supplies purchased in bulk by administrative departments, schools, transit authorities, and other public agencies as part of routine stationery and office-supply replenishment cycles.

No recent state or local procurement opportunities appear in the available record for this Item code, indicating minimal to no active solicitation activity at the state, county, municipal, school-district, or transit-authority level during the current window. This low activity is typical for commodity-level office consumables, which are ordinarily acquired through standing cooperative purchasing agreements, master supply schedules, or blanket orders rather than formal competitive solicitations. Business development interest in this code should track cooperative-purchasing vehicle rosters and state-level office-supply schedules where volume commitments and pricing are established outside the traditional RFP or IFB process.
