NIGP 09553: Clippers and Parts (Hair)

NIGP 09553 Clippers And Parts (Hair), an Item code, covers hair clippers, styling tools, and related consumables that state and local governments procure for vocational education programs, correctional facilities, animal control operations, and institutional grooming services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing clippers alongside complementary equipment such as combs, scissors, shears, brushes, eyelash extension kits, curling irons, and styling powder for classroom instruction and operational use. School districts and county agencies dominate the issuing-body mix under this code. The work is straightforward product supply — vendors respond to requests for discount pricing off printed catalogs, as-needed standing orders, or fixed-term supply agreements with responsive delivery and account-management requirements.

Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued RFP #011326894 on March 21, 2026, requesting cosmetology equipment and supplies under a catalog discount bid method for the 2026–2027 school year, with proposals due April 8, 2026 at 10:00 A.M.; the district intends to award multiple vendors to give employees flexibility in selecting sources based on value for specific items, with pricing to remain firm for the contract term and options to extend for up to two additional one-year periods.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and California, with recent opportunities concentrated in independent school districts and county procurement offices.
