NIGP 57835: Election Equipment and Supplies, Non-Electronic

NIGP 57835 Election Equipment and Supplies, Non-Electronic (Item) covers tangible goods and materials state and local election offices procure to administer voting processes and election administration. The code captures a mix of consumable supplies — voting machine seals, ballots, poll-worker materials — and durable election infrastructure components. Recent solicitations show this Item code encompasses both routine supply orders and specialized procurement for voter engagement and election logistics, though the source contains one unrelated opportunity (an irrigation system improvement project) that does not align with the NIGP classification.

Election offices across multiple states are the primary issuing bodies under this code, ranging from county clerks to municipal election departments and special-purpose districts. Marion County, Oregon solicited voters' pamphlet printing services through RFP CO1781-26 with proposals due October 30, 2026; the City of Philadelphia's Commissioners Office issued a micro purchase for voting machine seals with a response deadline of September 6, 2026, capped at $45,000; and the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of the Elections Department requested proposals for a scalable voter education platform with proposals due July 13, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing initiative (RFP 061626) sought law enforcement equipment available to participating jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond, though this opportunity falls outside the election-equipment scope. Activity is geographically dispersed across Oregon, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and multi-state cooperative arrangements, reflecting demand across both small and large election administration operations.
