UNSPSC 14111618 Kent paper is a Commodity code encompassing carbonless (NCR) forms, copy paper, specialty bond and offset stocks, envelopes, and related office paper products that state and local governments procure for internal operations and specialized uses. Recent solicitations show correctional industries buying multi-part NCR forms and cardstock for tag and permit production, school districts purchasing copy paper and printing supplies, cities and counties sourcing office paper for administrative use, and courts acquiring copy and calendar stock. The issuing bodies span state departments (Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet, Colorado Department of Corrections, Illinois Secretary of State), county and municipal governments (Galveston County, City of St. Petersburg, City of Tucson, Walworth County, Cobb County), independent school districts (Northside ISD, Van Buren ISD, Parkway School District), and special-purpose authorities. Correctional industries programs appear as repeat buyers, soliciting both carbonless roll stock for print-shop operations and finished NCR forms for inmate-labor manufacturing.

Activity clusters in Colorado, Kentucky, Texas, Florida, Michigan, and California.
