NIGP 20732: Computer Instructional Aids and Training Devices

NIGP 20732 Computer Instructional Aids And Training Devices, an Item code, encompasses specialized equipment, software platforms, and curriculum materials that state and local governments purchase to train employees and students in technical skills, professional licensure, and classroom instruction. Recent solicitations show school districts, municipalities, and education service centers buying air brake driving simulators with diagnostic capabilities, commercial driver's license training delivery, phonics and literacy instruction programs with professional development, classroom technology control systems, drone training equipment and curricula, and assessment analytics platforms for K–12 instruction. The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Baldwyn School District, Fulton County Schools), regional education service centers (Region One Education Service Center in Texas), municipal government fleet maintenance divisions (City of Tampa), municipalities providing employee training (City of Palm Bay), and higher-education institutions (Valencia College District). School districts represent the majority of recent buyers, with particular activity in Florida driven by state-level adoption of science-based reading instruction and vehicle operator licensing requirements.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Kentucky. The City of Tampa Logistics and Asset Management Fleet Maintenance Division posted a sole-source notice in June 2026 for Consulab air brake training equipment (simulators, diagnostic boards, and electronics trainers totaling $86,295.00 USD) to train fleet employees under NATEF and Red Seal curriculum standards.
