NIGP 28589: Unilets

NIGP 28589 Unilets, an Item code, encompasses rental and purchase of specialized equipment and supplies — predominantly electrical components, parts, and law enforcement gear — that state and local agencies procure on an as-needed basis through standing contracts rather than one-time purchases. Issuing bodies include school districts, county governments, and cooperative purchasing entities that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. State and local procurement offices use this code to establish vendor relationships for rapid fulfillment of electrical equipment, supplies, and repairs, and for law enforcement equipment that participating entities can draw from without separate competitive cycles.

Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued IFB 2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with a response deadline of July 1, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all incumbent and prospective vendors to respond or lose future business. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP 061626 on behalf of multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and thousands of other governmental and nonprofit entities across the United States and Canada to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to participants, with proposals due June 16, 2026 through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Activity under the code spans school districts and multi-county cooperative arrangements, with recent solicitations concentrated in Texas and the Pacific Northwest through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative model.
