NIGP 19520: Clocks, Game (Sports)

NIGP 19520 Clocks, Game (Sports), an Item code, encompasses athletic timing and scorekeeping equipment, including timing clocks, digital displays, game scoreboards, and related electronic timing apparatus that state and local governments procure for sports facilities, schools, and recreational venues. Recent solicitations show school districts and higher education institutions acquiring these items alongside court construction, renovation, and equipment rental services to outfit athletic facilities for competitive play and training.

Issuing bodies under this code span school districts (Cirrus Academy Charter School, Fulton County Schools), higher education institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Cirrus Academy Charter School has posted two basketball court construction RFPs in the past three months—one in July 2026 for design and installation of an 84-by-50-foot court with six goal systems and surface finishing, and another in September 2026 for a reinforced concrete basketball court pad, both with response deadlines in mid-to-late October 2026. Fulton County Schools issued an IFB for wrestling mats with specific sizing and thickness requirements due May 26, 2026. The University of Wisconsin-Madison solicited rental bids for timing equipment and videoboards for special events through RFB 2026-UWMSN-01341, due July 9, 2026. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia (Cirrus Academy Charter School in an unspecified county, Fulton County Schools) and Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin-Madison), with Sourcewell's cooperative procurement framework (RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, posted May 2026) drawing participation from Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, serving thousands of public entities across multiple states and Canada. The recent opportunity mix reflects school and university spending on both capital court construction and operational equipment rental rather than clock and scoreboard procurement as a standalone category.
