NIGP 09595: Vibrators, Massagers, and Parts

NIGP 09595 Vibrators, Massagers, and Parts, an Item code, encompasses cosmetology and personal-care equipment that state and local governments procure for workforce training and instructional use in school districts. The code reflects what school cosmetology programs and vocational education initiatives actually buy: styling tools including curling irons, hair clippers, and scissors; beauty-supply consumables such as nail colors and eyelash extension kits; training aids like practice hands and manikins; and related accessories such as neck dusters and barber capes. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily independent school districts operating cosmetology or beauty-services curriculum, which typically use catalog discount bid procurement to establish multiple-vendor panels and allow instructors and administrators to source individual items based on unit economics rather than committing to a single supplier.

Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas posted RFP 011326-894 on March 21, 2026, seeking discount pricing off printed catalogs for cosmetology equipment and supplies effective through the 2026-2027 school year with two optional one-year extensions. The RFP, due April 8, 2026, invites vendors to bid their entire catalog or specific product categories; evaluation centers on selection, service, and price, with F.O.B. Destination delivery and no guaranteed minimum purchase volumes. The district intends to award multiple vendors, giving classroom instructors flexibility to contact suppliers offering the best value for particular items. Vendors must provide five years of customer references, maintain appropriate insurance naming the district as additional insured, and furnish compliance documentation including W-9, debarment certification, conflict-of-interest questionnaire, and Texas-specific felony and interested-parties forms. Geographic visibility under this code is concentrated in Texas school districts; the source provides no evidence of recent activity in other states or jurisdictions.
