NIGP 65588: Storage and Mailing Materials (for Negatives, Prints, or Slides): Envelopes, Files, Sleeves, etc.

NIGP 65588 Storage And Mailing Materials (For Negatives, Prints, Or Slides): Envelopes, Files, Sleeves, Etc. is an Item code covering protective storage and filing supplies for photographic and slide media — envelopes, sleeves, files, and related organizational materials used to preserve image negatives, prints, and slides. State and local governments procure these materials for archival, evidence management, records retention, and media preservation across law enforcement, public works, planning, and administrative departments. The issuing-body mix spans county governments, cities, school districts, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple public entities.

Recent activity shows limited sourcing volume under this specific code. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle available to Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada. While the primary scope addresses law enforcement equipment broadly, the cooperative structure positions vendors to serve storage and preservation materials requests across a dispersed base of public entities. No award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendors were disclosed. Sourcing under this code appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest jurisdictions participating in Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing framework, though the resulting contract permits nationwide and cross-border utilization.
