NIGP 70010: Binding Equipment and Supplies, Book (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 70010 Binding Equipment and Supplies, Book (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code covering binding materials, folders, filing supplies, and related office and classroom products that state and local governments procure as part of broader educational and operational supply chains. The code captures adhesives, clips, rings, binders, and filing materials bundled with paper products and instructional supplies in consolidated purchasing vehicles, not binding equipment in isolation. School districts dominate procurement activity under this code, procuring binding and filing materials as components of mid-year and cyclical supply replenishment contracts rather than as standalone line items.

Washington County School District released IFB WCSDSG002 on May 28, 2026, with bids due June 22, 2026, for instructional and paper supplies including binding materials (binders, folders, clips, rings), adhesives, tape, and paper products. The procurement anticipated multiple contract awards based on cost, minimum order amounts, or freight considerations, with a contract term running June 22, 2026 through January 18, 2027 and vendors required to guarantee pricing throughout the seven-month period. The scope encompassed estimated usage ranging from single units to over 14,000 units for individual items, with reference to specific manufacturer products from Crayola, Elmer's, Sharpie, Expo, 3M, and Neenah. The recent-opportunities block contains no additional state or local opportunities under this code, indicating limited current procurement velocity in binding equipment and supplies narrowly defined outside consolidated instructional supply contracts.
