NIGP 60083: Stenographic and Stenotype Machines, Accessories, and Supplies

NIGP 60083 Stenographic and Stenotype Machines, Accessories, and Supplies is an Item code under which state and local governments procure court reporting and deposition equipment, including stenotype machines, paper tape, correction supplies, and accessories for real-time transcription in legal and administrative proceedings. The most recent solicitation activity shows a single, broad cooperative purchasing initiative: Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. The solicitation does not specify set-asides, budget ranges, or award values in available documentation, and vendors must submit responses exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov.

The cooperative framework spans participating jurisdictions including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, advertised under Washington law (RCW 39.34), with potential utilization across a participating addendum structure. The broad scope of this single recent opportunity—designed to leverage collective buying power across multiple jurisdictions and entity types—indicates limited current solicitation activity under this specific NIGP code at the state and local level. Vendors interested in this code should note the Sourcewell cooperative model as a potential channel for accessing multi-jurisdiction law enforcement equipment procurement, though the sparse recent-opportunity record suggests this code does not see frequent standalone solicitation activity in the state and local market.
