NIGP 64525: Book Paper (Including Recycled)

NIGP 64525 Book Paper (Including Recycled), an Item code, covers standard office and institutional paper supplies—copier paper, print-shop stock, and related paper goods—that state and local governments procure through competitive catalog bids and as-needed supply contracts. School districts and state universities are the primary buyers under this code, establishing vendor lists to manage discretionary purchasing throughout the fiscal or academic year. State and local agencies solicit these supplies via RFP and RFQ processes, typically awarding multiple vendors to give end-users flexibility in selecting suppliers based on price, service, and value rather than committing to single-source supply relationships.

Recent activity spans Texas and Georgia. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, posted RFP 011326890 on March 21, 2026, seeking discount proposals off catalog prices for dual-purpose copier paper in multiple formats (8" x 11", 8" x 14", and 11" x 17") with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, for a contract term running September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with optional one-year extensions. Valdosta State University in Georgia issued eRFQ 55100ERFQ0000016292026 on February 20, 2026, to procure print-shop paper with a March 19, 2026, response deadline. Both procurements follow standard state-local purchasing protocols—requiring vendor certifications, insurance documentation, and tax compliance attestations—with no disclosed set-asides or incumbent vendor restrictions.
