NIGP 20079: Swimwear

NIGP 20079 Swimwear, an Item code, encompasses competitive and recreational swimwear purchased by state and local governments primarily through educational and athletic institutions. State and local buyers under this code procure competitive swimsuits, training equipment, and related apparel for NCAA Division I programs, school athletic departments, and county recreational systems. The issuing bodies soliciting swimwear are typically public universities, county school systems, and school districts managing interscholastic and collegiate swimming and diving programs.

Recent activity shows two representative opportunities: the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee posted RFB 2027UWMIL01382RFB on July 8, 2026, requesting bids for competitive swimwear and training equipment for its NCAA Division I Horizon League Swimming and Diving program, with responses due July 23, 2026 (Amendment No. 1, including revised specifications and Q&A responses, was posted after the initial solicitation); DeKalb County, Georgia issued ITB 2026-078 on June 2, 2026, requesting bids on athletic uniforms for multiple sports including swimming as part of a three-year multiyear contract with two options to renew, with bids due July 1, 2026. Solicitations are being posted across the upper Midwest and Southeast, with activity concentrated in state university systems and county school procurement offices. Neither opportunity disclosed estimated contract value, incumbent vendor, or detailed technical specifications in publicly available summaries.
