NIGP 70027: Folding, Scoring, and Perforating Equipment

NIGP 70027 Folding, Scoring, and Perforating Equipment, an Item code, covers machinery that creases, folds, scores, and perforates paper and cardstock in high-volume print finishing operations. State and local governments purchase this equipment primarily for in-house print shops, mail rooms, and document-processing centers where production volumes justify dedicated finishing hardware rather than outsourced services. The equipment includes manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic machines for bindery and finishing work. Issuing bodies span state printing offices, county administrative departments, city procurement bureaus, school districts with central print services, and special-purpose districts managing high-volume mail and document distribution.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the source records for this code. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices naming folding, scoring, or perforating equipment, the geographic distribution and frequency of procurement under this Item code cannot be characterized from current market activity.
