NIGP 64531: Card Stock (incl. Recycled)

NIGP 64531 Card Stock (Including Recycled), an Item code, covers the procurement of specialty paper products for state and local government use, including cardstock materials for voter registration, identification, and other official documents. State and local governments purchase under this code when they need pre-printed or blank card stock for in-house production or vendor delivery of government identification and record-keeping materials. The issuing bodies are state procurement agencies and cooperative purchasing vehicles that source on behalf of multiple jurisdictions and public entities.

Recent solicitation activity shows the California Department of General Services, Procurement Division on behalf of the Office of State Publishing seeking vendors to produce and deliver paper stock for statewide voter registration cards, with written expressions of interest due July 6, 2026 (Solicitation 0000039686). A second opportunity appears in Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, which encompasses procurement across Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state and other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada, though the law enforcement equipment focus indicates cardstock may be a component rather than the primary procurement driver. Activity under the code is geographically dispersed across California and the Pacific Northwest, with cooperative purchasing vehicles playing a significant role in aggregating demand across multiple government entities. The source does not disclose contract values, estimated volumes, or specific paper specifications for either opportunity.
