Paper And Paperboard

PSC Category 9310 encompasses paper and paperboard products, serving a wide range of federal government needs across various agencies and functional requirements. These products include copy paper, envelopes, specialized printing papers, carbonless forms, index stock, and other paper-based materials used for administrative, manufacturing, and specialized printing purposes. The category covers both standard office supplies and highly technical paper products used in sensitive government operations such as currency production, document printing, and secure communication.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity, with values ranging from under $10,000 to nearly $100,000, and typically lasting between several months to one year. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses like Tsrc, Inc., B.W. Wilson Paper Company, Western States Envelope Co., and Rainmaker, Inc. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and various federal agencies like the Social Security Administration and U.S. Census Bureau are primary purchasers. Many awards utilize the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract vehicle, with a mix of set-aside types, including total small business, woman-owned small business, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business designations. Performance locations are predominantly across the continental United States, with concentrations in Virginia, Minnesota, and Washington, DC.
