NIGP 20596: Workstations: Sparc, Risc, etc. (for Use with Cad/Cam, etc.), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 20596 Workstations: Sparc, Risc, Etc. (For Use With CAD/CAM, Etc.), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized scanning and documentation equipment for facility assessment and site analysis. The City of South Fulton General Services Department's recent building and site scanner equipment solicitation illustrates the actual work flowing through this code: municipalities are acquiring hardware—scanner base units with standard accessories, freight, delivery, and optional extended warranty—to document existing buildings and surrounding sites for operational and compliance purposes. The solicitation explicitly excludes bundled professional services (scanning operations, surveying, point cloud registration, BIM modeling, CAD drafting, digital twin production, UAV operations, and consulting), limiting scope to equipment procurement with firm fixed pricing. Bidders must demonstrate manufacturer authorization, financial capacity, satisfactory performance history, and compliance with applicable state immigration and employment law. The procurement flows through city general services departments using the ITB (Invitation to Bid) notice type with low-bid award without comparative scoring.

The South Fulton opportunity represents the only recent activity visible in the source. The City of South Fulton is located in Georgia; the ITB was posted April 24, 2026, with a sealed-bid due date of May 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET through BidNet Direct, and a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for April 28, 2026. No specific set-asides or vendor restrictions are identified in the solicitation, and no incumbent contractors or budget figures are disclosed in available materials. Payment terms run to thirty days net from undisputed invoice receipt, with no bid security or performance bonds required unless stated in addenda. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all mandatory requirements.
