NIGP 64561: Newsprint (Includiing Recycled)

NIGP 64561 Newsprint (Including Recycled), an Item code, covers paper stock and supplies sourced by state and local government agencies for operational and instructional use, including bond, offset, index, vellum, text, gloss, matte, recycled, linen, NCR, and synthetic paper types, as well as related envelopes and adhesives. Recent solicitations show school districts, county registrar offices, and municipal utilities procuring instructional paper for warehousing, general office print supplies, and high-volume operational printing. State and local buyers under this code are establishing framework agreements with fixed pricing, guaranteed availability of branded standard inventory, and rapid delivery cycles—typically one to two business days—with no minimum order quantities and freight prepaid to destination. The issuing bodies range from independent school districts to county departments and city utilities, reflecting the broad operational demand for paper stock across governmental functions.
