NIGP 64621: Bond Paper (Including Recycled), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 64621 Bond Paper (Including Recycled), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure standard xerographic white bond paper for office and high-volume production use. The Orange County Transportation Authority solicited 8-inch by 11-inch white bond paper at 96 brightness and 20-pound weight for delivery to its print shop, with the paper supporting high-speed copiers, color production presses, laser printers, and office copiers. This code covers commodity paper supply contracts typically awarded on lowest-cost basis with firm-fixed pricing and no guaranteed minimum purchase volumes, reflective of routine office operations and print-shop needs across public agencies.

The Orange County Transportation Authority represents the issuing-body activity visible under this code in recent state and local procurement.

Evaluation was cost-weighted at 100 percent, with no prevailing wage, DBE, or liquidated damages requirements. Vendors were required to maintain Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), Automobile Liability ($1 million combined single limit), and California Workers' Compensation with Employers' Liability ($1 million per accident), and certify non-subject status to Ukraine/Russia-related economic sanctions under Presidential Executive Orders 13660, 13661, 13662, 13685, and 14065.
