NIGP 65571: Paper and Plates, Photographic

NIGP 65571 Paper and Plates, Photographic, an Item code, covers photographic papers and plates that state and local governments procure for documentation, evidence processing, and archival purposes within law enforcement, public records management, and related administrative functions. The code sees solicitation activity primarily from state cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-jurisdictional procurement initiatives that bundle equipment and materials needs across law enforcement and public safety agencies.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington state—including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County—and thousands of governmental agencies, K–12 school districts, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The cooperative purchasing structure allows selected vendors to supply materials across a broad spectrum of public sector organizations while maintaining standardized contracting terms through Sourcewell's framework agreement. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov and direct general inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
