NIGP 20079: Swimwear

NIGP 20079 Swimwear, an Item code, covers competitive and recreational swimwear that state and local governments procure for athletic programs, aquatic facilities, and recreational services. Recent solicitations show activity spanning competitive team swimwear for collegiate NCAA programs, multi-sport athletic uniforms including aquatics and swimming components for school districts, and specialized diving equipment and wetsuits for public-safety diving operations. The issuing bodies include universities, county school districts, independent school districts, and county sheriff's departments — a mix reflecting both educational athletic programs and public-safety aquatic operations. Work solicited ranges from bulk purchases of branded team apparel from major manufacturers (Nike, Under Armour, Mizuno) to maintenance and procurement of diving wetsuits and personal protective equipment for harbor patrol and hazardous-device units.
