NIGP 20582: Printers, Microcomputer (Not Otherwise Classified), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 20582 Printers, Microcomputer (Not Otherwise Classified), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure office equipment including document scanners, multifunction printers, and related accessories, often bundled with technology services contracts that span imaging equipment, software, and integrated classroom or enterprise systems. Recent solicitations reveal a scope extending beyond standalone hardware to encompass ecosystem services: Collin County, Texas solicited Fujitsu document scanners and Lexmark printers as discrete equipment under an IFB, while the School District of Manatee County, Florida and Valencia College District in Florida approached similar product categories through broader technology services contracts offering catalog discounts and turnkey classroom technology integration respectively. Issuing bodies under this code span county purchasing offices, school districts, and special-purpose education authorities. Counties and school districts dominate the recent activity, with school systems increasingly bundling printer and scanner procurement into larger technology platform agreements rather than purchasing devices in isolation.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas and Florida, based on three of four recent opportunities posted from those states. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County's IFB No. 2026-251 for Fujitsu document scanners, Lexmark printers, and accessories with sealed bids due June 25, 2026; the School District of Manatee County's competitive procurement for technology equipment on a catalog discount basis with electronic bids due March 24, 2026 via VendorLink and a five-year contract period from May 1, 2026 through June 30, 2030; and Valencia College District's RFP 2026-26 for comprehensive classroom and conference room technology services college-wide, encompassing purchase, installation, and support across approximately 900 rooms with proposals due April 30, 2026. The City of Madison, Wisconsin also issued an RFP for city-wide printing and mailing services with a proposal deadline of April 3, 2026, reflecting demand in the upper Midwest. Procurement vehicles range from fixed-price IFBs for equipment to best-value RFPs for integrated technology services, with no set-aside designations appearing across the recent solicitations reviewed.
