NIGP 64120: Chipboard, Pasteboard, and Telescoping Boxes, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 64120 Chipboard, Pasteboard, and Telescoping Boxes, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code covering packaging materials — principally corrugated and solid-fiber boxes, chipboard sheets, and related containerization products certified to environmental standards — that state and local governments purchase for storage, shipping, records management, and operational use. Recent procurement activity shows minimal solicitation volume under this specific code; the one identifiable opportunity in the dataset is Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026), which may include packaging or containerization as a subordinate line item within a broader equipment procurement framework rather than as a primary commodity focus. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include purchasing cooperatives such as Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative operating under Washington state law RCW 39.34), along with county governments and school districts participating in cooperative purchasing agreements.

The geographic spread of recent activity is limited; the Sourcewell solicitation encompasses participating entities across Washington State (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties explicitly named) and extends to numerous other U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions through Sourcewell's national cooperative framework. Beyond the Sourcewell opportunity, no other recent state or local solicitations appear in the dataset under this code, suggesting low procurement velocity and narrow market demand for environmentally certified packaging materials at the state and local level during this period. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor cooperative purchasing portals and regional purchasing alliances for packaging-related line items embedded within broader equipment or supplies RFPs rather than expect standalone box and packaging solicitations.
