NIGP 99875: Paper and Paper Products (Including Boxes, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items)

NIGP 99875 Paper and Paper Products (Including Boxes, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items) is an Item code covering consumable paper stock and related supplies that state and local governments purchase for routine operations across school districts, county departments, and municipal agencies. State and local buyers under this code procure bulk art paper for classroom use, janitorial and operational papers (including cleaning and maintenance supplies), and surplus or confiscated items available for trade or credit exchange. School districts represent a significant portion of activity, seeking multi-SKU contracts for construction paper, drawing paper, newsprint, sketch pads, and specialty papers like watercolor and fadeless art paper delivered to central warehouses or distribution points. County governments and municipal departments also buy janitorial papers and consumable supplies on an as-needed basis to support operations across multiple facilities. Solicitations typically use ITB (Invitation to Bid) or RFB (Request for Bid) structures with evaluation criteria favoring lowest responsive and responsible pricing, often with state-specific preferences applied.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where the School Board of Seminole County issued ITB 19200044BLL in October 2026 (response due October 1, 2019) for bulk art paper covering 24 line items with an award of $43,089.75 across multiple vendors including Pyramid School Products, Smith Office & Computer Supply, and School Specialty, Inc., and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00319 in July 2026 (response due July 24, 2026) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies to support 47 fire rescue stations with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84. One recent Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department solicitation (RFB 27-0010, response due October 14, 2026) involved trade or swap of used and confiscated firearms for new equipment, demonstrating the code's secondary application to surplus and obsolete-item disposition. Typical contract terms run one year with F.O.B. delivery to designated warehouses, Net 30 payment terms, and no guaranteed minimum purchase quantities.
