NIGP 20657: Keyboards

NIGP 20657 Keyboards, an Item code, encompasses input devices and peripheral components that state and local governments procure as part of broader technology infrastructure and law enforcement equipment packages. Rather than standalone keyboard acquisitions, recent solicitations show keyboards being bundled within comprehensive classroom technology systems, law enforcement equipment suites, and integrated workplace computing solutions where keyboard specifications are components of larger contracts rather than discrete line items.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles, college district boards, and multi-jurisdictional law enforcement consortia. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, seeking Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, with responses due June 16, 2026. Valencia College District Board of Trustees in Florida issued RFP 2026-26 on April 6, 2026, for Classroom & Conference Room Technology Services across nine campus locations, with a response deadline of April 30, 2026; the College has averaged $1.6 million in annual spending over the past five fiscal years and anticipates upgrading 50–75 rooms annually, with an initial contract term of three years and optional extensions totaling up to five years. The Sourcewell opportunity emphasizes cooperative purchasing reach across thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada, while the Valencia opportunity prioritizes integration with specified manufacturers including Panasonic, Sony, Chief, Da-Lite, Extron, Elmo, JBL, Crestron, and Crown, requiring proposers to submit percentage discounts from manufacturer's suggested retail price on all equipment line items. Geographic activity centers on Washington state and Florida based on these representative recent solicitations.
