NIGP 64644: Facsimile (Fax) Paper (Including Recycled), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 64644 Facsimile (Fax) Paper (Including Recycled), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code that covers thermal and plain-paper fax stock, including recycled grades and products meeting environmental certifications such as FSC or Green Seal standards. State and local governments procure fax paper as consumable supply for in-house facsimile equipment and, in some cases, to stock for contractor or departmental use where fax transmission remains operational. The code encompasses both single-ply and multi-ply thermal rolls, standard office-grade plain paper fax rolls, and certified eco-friendly variants. Issuing bodies include state administrative offices, counties, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities; procurement typically flows through purchasing cooperatives or blanket standing orders rather than project-specific solicitations.

No recent state or local contract opportunities appear in the available records for this code. The absence of posted activity may reflect the declining use of fax transmission in modern state and local operations, the consolidation of fax-paper purchasing into broader office-supply blanket agreements under different NIGP codes, or the routine renewal of existing supply contracts without public re-solicitation. Firms currently competing in fax-paper supply should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicle catalogs and standing-offer programs offered by state administrative services departments, as these channels often handle commodity consumables outside the formal RFP/RFQ cycle.
