NIGP 58002: Accordians and Accessories

NIGP 58002 Accordians and Accessories, an Item code, procures musical instruments on volume-discount or catalog-pricing models through state and local educational and governmental purchasing cooperatives and school districts. State and local buyers under this code establish master agreements for percentage discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) or catalog pricing structures that apply across all departments and activities within a single jurisdiction or cooperative network. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools) and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple member institutions (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), alongside county government entities. Vendors respond to RFP and invitation-for-bid notices by submitting discount structures, net payment terms, shipping policies, and purchase order acceptance procedures for evaluation.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Virginia. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, based in Kilgore, Texas, has conducted successive annual solicitations—MUSIC2223 (due May 31, 2022, with 37 respondents and $4,023,841 estimated annual expenditures) and MUSIC2324 (due May 30, 2023, with 36 respondents and $4,087,396 estimated annual expenditures)—establishing a pattern of regular, competitive re-bidding with stable vendor interest. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government jointly issued Solicitation 2000004389 for musical instruments on an RFP basis due August 6, 2026, with performance in Fairfax County, Virginia. These solicitations show active, recurring demand for vendor participation in cooperative and district-level musical instrument supply agreements with no set-aside restrictions limiting participation.
