NIGP 20646: Drives: Hard/Fixed Disk

NIGP 20646 Hard/Fixed Disk Drives, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of internal and external data storage devices that state and local governments acquire as components of larger systems or standalone equipment. Based on recent solicitation activity, governments source these drives primarily as components integrated into law enforcement IT infrastructure, evidence management systems, and general municipal computing environments, rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies pursuing this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-jurisdictional consortia, with Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, actively soliciting vendors to supply law enforcement equipment — which includes IT infrastructure and related storage components — on behalf of participating counties, cities, school districts, and other public entities across multiple states.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, seeking to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation explicitly identifies participation from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, with no set-aside designations noted in available documentation. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
