NIGP 28545: Lamps, Projector

NIGP 28545 Lamps, Projector is an Item code covering the procurement, installation, removal, and repair of classroom projectors and associated audiovisual equipment by state and local jurisdictions. School districts represent the primary buyer category under this code, though recent opportunities show demand from transit authorities and cooperative purchasing vehicles. State and local governments buy projectors as capital equipment for classroom deployment, often bundled with installation and ongoing maintenance services, and occasionally procure replacement lamps and repair parts through consolidated supply contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and across multiple states through cooperative purchasing channels.
