NIGP 64551: Index Paper (Including Recycled)

NIGP 64551 Index Paper (Including Recycled), an Item code, covers custom-printed envelopes, standard copy paper, and specialty paper stock that state and local governments source on an as-needed basis for internal distribution and departmental use. The code captures both branded or utility-specific custom-printed items (envelopes with window cutouts, barcode placement, postage-permit formatting) and commodity copy paper in various grades and sizes, typically procured under multi-year supply agreements with firm pricing in year one and negotiated adjustment provisions thereafter. Municipalities are the primary issuing bodies under this code, drawing supplies from centralized warehouses for distribution across departments and operational units.

The City of St. Petersburg, Florida posted two Invitations for Bid (IFBs) for office paper products under this code in 2026—IFB26250 in June and IFB26317 in August—each covering nine to six line items ranging from 161 to 5,000 cases annually, with response deadlines of June 9 and September 1 respectively. Both solicitations required Business Enterprise participation (SBE/MBE/WBE certified subcontractors or Good Faith Efforts documentation), mandated sample submission prior to award, specified delivery to the Consolidated Warehouse within seven business days of purchase order receipt, and imposed standard bonds (5% bid bond, performance and payment bonds). Vendors must hold Commercial General Liability of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate, Florida Division of Corporations registration, and E-Verify compliance. Recent activity under this code centers in Florida, with St. Petersburg representing the identifiable jurisdictional buyer in the available recent-opportunities record.
