NIGP 60043: Copy Machines, Digital-Networked

NIGP 60043 Copy Machines, Digital-Networked (Item) covers the procurement of networked digital copiers and multifunction devices, along with integrated maintenance, supplies, and managed services that state and local governments buy to standardize printing and copying infrastructure across administrative and operational departments. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, and purchasing cooperatives acquiring equipment ranging from single high-end production devices to fleets of 197 multifunction units, with contracts structured as leases or fixed-cost-per-copy arrangements inclusive of service, toner, and network integration; scope also extends to licensing and support for managed print platforms serving thousands of devices across districts.

Issuing bodies include K–12 school districts (Cobb County School District, Montague Area Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools), county governments (Denton County, Arizona), cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and cities (Phoenix). Recent activity centers in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Washington; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative has posted multiple catalog-discount-bid renewals over a two-year window, with the most current solicitation (NET2628, due July 28, 2026) estimated at $12.011 million over a two-year term. Representative opportunities include Denton County's RFP for a 60-month countywide multifunction fleet (approximately 197 devices across multiple jurisdictions, per-copy pricing, responses due June 18, 2026), Cobb County School District's RFP for Toshiba copiers with districtwide maintenance and network support (responses due August 4, 2026), and Montague Area Public Schools' five-year copier and printer procurement requiring fixed cost-per-impression pricing on a 60-month term with responses due April 24, 2026. Contracts emphasize firm fixed-price or per-copy cost structures with no escalation, integration with print-management software and Microsoft Active Directory, response-time service levels (two to four business hours), and cybersecurity compliance including data sanitization standards.
