NIGP 42587: Storage Cabinets, Data Processing

NIGP 42587 Storage Cabinets, Data Processing (Item) encompasses storage solutions for law enforcement and public-sector operations, as evidenced by recent cooperative purchasing initiatives seeking standardized equipment that can scale across multiple jurisdictions and entity types. State and local governments procure under this code storage systems designed for secure equipment management, evidence handling, and operational logistics in law enforcement and related public agencies. Issuing bodies include county governments, state cooperative purchasing vehicles, school districts, and other public entities — often aggregated through cooperative purchasing arrangements that allow smaller jurisdictions and specialized agencies to access established contracting solutions without conducting individual procurements.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, on behalf of participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada, with proposals due June 16, 2026. The procurement establishes law enforcement equipment contracting solutions intended for thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities, leveraging collective buying power across multiple jurisdiction types. Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and extends nationally through cooperative purchasing mechanisms that allow vendors to establish framework agreements with Sourcewell for ongoing utilization across a dispersed customer base.
