NIGP 68505: Bands and Tags

NIGP 68505 Bands and Tags, an Item code, covers identification and tracking products state and local governments procure for operational, administrative, and public-facing uses. The Sacramento County Department of Airports recently solicited bag tags, thermal paper, and Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass stock under this code, indicating that the category encompasses both physical identification media and printing supplies used in high-throughput transit and facility operations.

Sacramento County issued an RFP for the bag tags, thermal paper, and ATB stock contract through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing vehicle enabling multiple governmental, educational, and non-profit entities to leverage shared contracts. The RFP structure anticipated one or multiple awards on a line-item basis, with an initial two-year term and three optional one-year extensions. The source does not specify a response deadline, award value, or other recent state and local opportunities under this code beyond the Sacramento County solicitation.
