NIGP 86020: Coupon Books

NIGP 86020 Coupon Books, an Item code, covers the design, printing, and production of fare, transit, and promotional coupon books that state and local transportation authorities and service agencies procure to support fare collection, service access, and revenue management. State and local governments buy finished coupon books with specified binding, collation, numbering, security features, and delivery logistics — typically as as-needed buys with no guaranteed usage, evaluated primarily on cost. Issuing bodies include transit authorities and municipal transportation agencies; the recent activity shows transit-specific demand for specialized coupon products with detailed technical specifications for binding, stock weight, ink coverage, and security features.
