The State of New Jersey, through the Division of Purchase and Property, has awarded a statewide contract (RFP/NJCOOP 24-FOOD-118205) to Barco Products, LLC for park and playground equipment. The contract, effective from October 16, 2025 to October 15, 2029, covers 14 distinct product lines serving municipalities across New Jersey's North, Central, and South regions. Product categories include benches, bike racks, bollards, crowd barriers, dog park components, message centers, drinking fountains, park grills, pavilions, seating furniture, pet waste disposal systems, transit shelters, umbrellas, and waste receptacles.

The contract enables New Jersey state agencies, local governments, boards of education, and cooperative purchasing participants to procure park and recreational infrastructure equipment from Barco Products. Each line item is priced on a cost basis with statewide coverage, and includes standardized delivery terms ranging from 10 to 30 days after receipt of order (ARO). While specific pricing details are not disclosed, the contract appears to offer percentage discounts from standard manufacturer pricing, with no volume discount specified. The procurement mechanism allows using agencies to solicit specific brands and products through a mini-bid process, providing flexibility in equipment selection across multiple product categories.
