NIGP 207: Computer Accessories and Supplies

NIGP 207 Computer Accessories and Supplies is a Class code encompassing desktops, laptops, tablets, monitors, keyboards, mice, and comparable hardware peripherals that state and local governments procure through equipment refresh cycles, technology upgrades, and operational replacements. State and local buyers—counties, cities, school districts, and state departments—use this code for everything from routine replacement of aging hardware to coordinated district-wide device deployments. Collin County Information Technology Department recently solicited Dell-branded computers and peripherals valued at $1.2 million annually through IFB 2026-390, requiring qualified Dell Platinum or Titanium level resellers with firm-fixed markup percentages passed through to the buyer; the County operates roughly 3,000 Windows-based computers and places three to four orders annually averaging 600 units per order. School districts are regular buyers in this space—Amarillo Independent School District, Collegium Charter School in Pennsylvania, and Temple Independent School District all posted activity seeking laptops and Chromebooks for administrative and student use. Orange County Property Appraiser in Florida procured Surface laptops (both Snapdragon and Intel-based models) and the City of Holyoke, Massachusetts requested Lenovo ThinkPad E14 AMD G7 laptops funded through American Rescue Plan Act grants. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts statewide contract for toner and printer supplies demonstrates ongoing procurement for consumable peripherals, while the State of Texas TIPS cooperative purchasing program offers a master agreement framework for technology solutions and products available statewide.

Geographic activity spans multiple regions with notable concentration in Texas (Amarillo ISD, San Antonio ISD, Temple ISD, TIPS statewide vehicle), Florida (Collin County, Orange County Property Appraiser, Sarasota County), Massachusetts (City of Holyoke, Boston Region MPO), Pennsylvania (Collegium Charter School), Connecticut (New London Board of Education), and New Mexico (state enterprise programs). County procurement offices, independent school districts, and state technology purchasing divisions dominate recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include Collin County Information Technology Department's IFB 2026-390 for computers and peripherals with response date October 15, 2026 (estimated annual value $1.2 million); the City of Holyoke Massachusetts IFB 2027-13 for forty Lenovo laptops and power supplies due October 1, 2026, funded through federal American Rescue Plan Act recovery funds; and Orange County Property Appraiser's ITB for Surface laptops (six units, mixed configurations) with delivery required by September 30, 2026. Activity skews toward managed replacement under cooperative purchasing vehicles and statewide contracts, with emphasis on warranty, accidental damage protection, and integration with existing IT infrastructure—indicators that purchasing is driven by lifecycle management rather than emergency procurement.
