NIGP 64651: Index Paper (Including Recycled), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 64651 Index Paper (Including Recycled), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure multi-purpose copy paper, colored paper stock, specialty papers, and related products for central warehouse distribution and routine office use. The School Board of Marion County, Florida recently solicited bids for a ten-month term contract covering 31 line items of paper products including colored multi-purpose paper, copy paper in various sizes and brightness levels, parchment paper, cardstock, and bright neon specialty papers. School districts represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring paper supplies for administrative operations and classroom use on an as-needed basis with fixed pricing across the contract term. Vendors must submit proposals through designated electronic portals (typically myvendorlink.com or equivalent district systems), meet packaging and delivery specifications, and comply with state employment verification and business registration requirements.

Recent activity centers on Florida, where the Marion County school district's ITB for multi-purpose paper closed on January 14, 2026, with contract award anticipated at the February 24, 2026 school board meeting and performance running March 1 through December 31, 2026. Estimated purchase volumes in the Marion County opportunity range from 80 to 8,400 cases depending on paper type and grade, with all deliveries made to a single central warehouse location in Ocala. No specific budget cap or set-aside designations appear in the Marion County solicitation, though out-of-state bidders must provide legal opinions on Florida bidding preferences and all corporate bidders must maintain active Florida business registration. No other recent opportunities under this code appear in the source.
