NIGP 64525: Book Paper (Including Recycled)

NIGP 64525 Book Paper (Including Recycled), an Item code, encompasses the supply of new textbooks and reference materials to state and local agencies for operational and educational use. State and local governments procure under this code to stock technical training materials, operational guides, and specialized reference texts for fire departments, public safety agencies, and other municipal departments. The code draws solicitations from cities, counties, and special districts; municipalities including Fort Worth are active buyers of specialized first-responder training materials on recurring, as-needed bases with multi-year renewal options.

The City of Fort Worth issued RFQt 26-0319 on September 14, 2026, requesting quotes for two specific first-responder textbooks — Essentials of Fire Fighting, 8th Edition and Hazardous Materials for First Responders, 6th Edition — to supply the Fire Department on an as-needed basis with a response date of September 17, 2026. The RFQt required new, unused books in original publisher condition with firm pricing throughout the initial one-year term and up to four one-year renewal options; the City's Small Business Program applied, with SBE certification status evaluated for award. Pricing is indexed to the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with annual price adjustments permitted during renewals upon written proof of cost increases submitted at least 90 days in advance. Geographic activity under the code centers on Texas; the source supports no additional recent opportunities in other states or jurisdictions.
