NIGP 64666: Onionskin (Including Recycled), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 64666 Onionskin (Including Recycled), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code that covers specialized lightweight paper stock used in state and local government correspondence, archival filing, and forms printing where reduced weight, thickness, or environmental certification requirements apply. The code includes virgin onionskin, recycled-content onionskin, and products meeting third-party environmental standards such as FSC or similar certifications. State and local buyers use this code when standard office paper does not meet operational or sustainability mandates — typically in high-volume correspondence roles, overseas mail operations where postage weight drives procurement decisions, or jurisdictions with green-purchasing policies that require certified sustainable fiber.

No recent state and local solicitations under NIGP 64666 appear in the available opportunities data. The code remains active in the NIGP taxonomy but does not reflect current purchasing activity in the tracked state and local market. Procurement professionals should verify whether jurisdictions of interest source onionskin through broader office-paper contracts (such as NIGP 64600 Paper, Uncoated, Bond) or through cooperative purchasing agreements rather than standalone solicitations, as the specialized nature of the commodity and low transaction volume may route demand through existing general-supplies vehicles.
