NIGP 57853: Lottery Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 57853 Lottery Equipment and Supplies is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized lottery operational equipment, draw machines, gaming systems, and related supplies to support state lottery programs. The scope of work includes drawing machines with precise technical specifications, lottery ball sets with certified weights and security coding, comprehensive lottery gaming and operations systems, sales terminals, validation equipment, and associated infrastructure for administering state-run lottery programs. Texas leads recent procurement activity under the code, with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) issuing multiple solicitations: an Invitation for Bids for three Daily 4 Drawing Machines and forty Daily 4 Ball Sets (response deadline March 16, 2026), and a Request for Proposals for comprehensive Lottery Operations and Services spanning the entire Texas Lottery Program through August 31, 2038 (response deadline July 27, 2026). The operations and services RFP encompasses the Lottery Gaming System, sales and marketing, warehouse and distribution, draw games and scratch ticket management, mobile applications, retailer systems, claims and validation services, call center support, and conversion/implementation services, with the successful proposer receiving no compensation during approximately twenty months of conversion and required to provide $150,000 proposal surety and $20,000,000 performance bonds. Historically Underutilized Business participation is mandatory under both procurements, with the drawing machines IFB requiring a 21.10% HUB goal and the operations RFP mandating HUB subcontracting plans with workshops scheduled for May and July 2026.

Recent activity outside Texas is minimal in the source records. A City of DeBary, Florida competitive bid for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (response deadline April 10, 2015) with an estimated project cost of $90,000 falls outside the lottery equipment scope and appears to represent a data-classification anomaly rather than representative NIGP 57853 activity. Sourcing for lottery equipment procurement concentrates in state lottery programs rather than county or municipal bodies; the Texas Lottery generated $7.9 billion in sales in fiscal year 2025, providing substantial revenue and contract value for comprehensive operations and equipment procurement. The code sees periodic high-value, sole-source or proprietary solicitations tied to lottery draw cycles and system upgrades, with performance bonds, liquidated damages schedules, and HUB participation requirements standard across recent opportunities. Vendors pursuing lottery equipment work should expect technical specifications documentation, multi-month conversion and implementation timelines where applicable, and mandatory participation in HUB subcontracting plans in states with such requirements.
