NIGP 20644: Drives: Compact Disk, ROM, etc.

NIGP 20644 Drives: Compact Disk, Rom, Etc., an Item code, encompasses CD-ROM drives and related optical storage media hardware that state and local governments procure as components within broader technology and equipment solutions. Recent solicitations show this code activity embedded in larger procurements for law enforcement equipment packages and classroom technology systems rather than as standalone storage-device purchases. Issuing bodies include state cooperative purchasing vehicles, county governments, and higher education institutions. The code sees activity in specialized equipment integrations where CD-ROM or optical drives form part of a bundled technology offering—such as law enforcement command-and-control systems or classroom presentation infrastructure—rather than in direct commodity buys of the drives themselves.

Sourcewell, acting as a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, seeking law enforcement equipment proposals due June 16, 2026, on behalf of participating Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. Valencia College District in Florida issued RFP 2026-26 on April 6, 2026, due April 30, 2026, for classroom and conference room technology services across nine campus locations, with annual historical spending averaging $1.6 million and an initial three-year contract term with optional two-year extensions. Recent activity concentrates in Washington state and Florida, with activity also routed through national cooperative purchasing frameworks that serve K-12 school districts, higher education, and public safety organizations.
