NIGP 64518: Boards: Poster, Pressboard, Railroad, etc. (Including Recycled)

NIGP 64518 Boards: Poster, Pressboard, Railroad, Etc. (Including Recycled), an Item code, covers adhesive foam boards and mounting materials that state and local governments procure for display, archival, and mounting applications. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring black adhesive foam mounting boards, foam-based display and presentation materials, and related mounting substrates through micro purchases and competitive bid processes. The City of Philadelphia and the Buffalo Public School District are the primary recent buyers under this code, with Philadelphia issuing repeated micro purchase quotations for adhesive foam boards and the school district procuring large quantities of foam-based and paper-based containerization and packaging materials as part of broader food service procurement.

The City of Philadelphia dominates recent activity under this code, conducting back-to-back micro purchase solicitations (B2627166 posted May 20, 2026 and B2626766 posted March 31, 2026) requesting quotes for black adhesive foam boards and satin archival photo paper, each with response periods of fewer than one week under the city's $43,000 micro purchase threshold and awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The Buffalo Public School District issued a competitive bid solicitation (260627061, posted February 16, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for packaging materials supporting the Child Nutrition Program during the 2026 Summer Program and 2026-2027 school year, including expanded polystyrene insulation sets and paper-based compostable trays alongside other containerization items. Activity is concentrated in New York and Pennsylvania; no recent opportunities from other states appear in the source.
