NIGP 64015: Bags, Paper: Regular Weight, Heavy Weight, Nail, etc.

NIGP 64015 Bags, Paper: Regular Weight, Heavy Weight, Nail, Etc., an Item code, covers the purchase of paper bags in various weights and configurations — brown grocery bags, white bags, merchandise bags, and specialty papers including kraft, butcher, and freezer paper — that state and local governments procure for operational and service delivery. County sheriff and correctional departments, independent school districts, and city procurement offices represent the primary issuing bodies, with recent solicitations showing demand from both large regional jurisdictions and smaller municipalities. The County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, and the City of Philadelphia have all posted opportunities under this code in the past six months, signaling recurring need across public safety, education, and general municipal operations. Procurement vehicles range from competitive sealed bids to RFQs and micro purchases, with contract terms typically running one to three years and emphasizing local warehousing, fast delivery, and emergency-order capability where applicable.

Recent activity clusters in California and Texas. The County of Orange (California) issued solicitation 0603042102CC in July 2026 for paper bags, plastic bags, rolled paper, and related items to supply the Sheriff-Coroner's jail commissary, food services, coroner's office, crime lab, and intake/release centers — a competitive sealed bid with a three-year term requiring bidder offices and warehouses within 60 miles of Santa Ana and one-day emergency delivery capability, with Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise preference eligibility.
