NIGP 60016: Calculators, Electronic, Display/Printing Type, Non-Programmable

NIGP 60016 Calculators, Electronic, Display/Printing Type, Non-Programmable is an Item code under which state and local governments procure basic electronic calculators for classroom use, office operations, and inmate canteen resale. Recent solicitations show calculators appearing as line items within broader commodity buys rather than as standalone procurements—the Missouri Department of Corrections included calculators in a January 2026 blanket purchase agreement for canteen resale items across nineteen facilities, and the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's June 2026 classroom furniture and supplies catalog-discount bid bundled calculators with broader educational equipment. The code sees activity from state departments, regional purchasing cooperatives, and school-serving institutions. Issuing bodies are primarily state corrections departments, purchasing cooperatives serving K-12 districts and public entities, and local government operations requiring general office supplies.

Activity under this code spans the upper Midwest and South, with documented recent opportunities in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, managing classroom supply procurement), Missouri (Department of Corrections canteen program), and Minnesota-coordinated regional purchasing (Sourcewell). The most substantive recent opportunity is the Missouri Department of Corrections Invitation for Bid (IFB DOC-0000000035-SL), due February 24, 2026, for electronic items including calculators for resale in offender canteens across nineteen institutions, with an estimated annual volume of $441,538 and preference points available for Buy American compliance and service-disabled veteran business enterprises. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's RFP CLSF2628 for classroom furniture and supplies, due May 26, 2026, represents a larger procurement opportunity ($21,568,516 estimated expenditure over two years) in which calculators are a component line item within a catalog-discount model, though the summary does not isolate calculator-specific volume or pricing.
