NIGP 64020: Chipboard, Pasteboard, and Telescoping Boxes

NIGP 64020 Chipboard, Pasteboard, and Telescoping Boxes, an Item code, covers corrugated and folded shipping containers, storage boxes, and related packaging materials that state and local governments procure for internal supply chains, evidence storage, records management, and departmental operations. Recent solicitation activity under this code remains limited in publicly available state and local procurement records. The single identified recent opportunity reflects cooperative purchasing patterns where packaging materials may be bundled into broader law enforcement or operational equipment frameworks rather than solicited as standalone commodity requests.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) to establish a Law Enforcement Equipment contracting solution on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with other jurisdictions and public entities across the United States and Canada. This cooperative vehicle structure, advertised under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), signals how packaging and storage boxes may be procured through piggyback or addendum-based mechanisms rather than direct solicitations at the item level. Activity under this code appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, though the broader cooperative framework extends national reach. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal (https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov) with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
