NIGP 60087: Typewriters, Electronic, Accessories and Parts

NIGP 60087 Typewriters, Electronic, Accessories And Parts is an Item code under which state and local governments procure electronic typewriters and related supplies for office, law enforcement, and institutional use. Recent solicitations show government buyers acquiring typewriters alongside broader categories of electronic equipment—fans, lamps, calculators, audio devices, and accessories—typically as part of mixed-commodity buys rather than typewriter-only contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments (Missouri Department of Corrections), county governments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington), and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit that aggregates demand from thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities across multiple states and Canada.

Recent activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Missouri. Sourcewell, administering an RFP (#061626) due June 16, 2026, is procuring law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington and other jurisdictions; the resulting contract will serve an expansive base of public buyers. The Missouri Department of Corrections issued an IFB (DOC-0000000035-SL) due February 24, 2026, for electronic items including typewriters and typewriter supplies for resale in offender canteens across nineteen correctional institutions, with an estimated annual procurement value of $441,538. The Missouri contract included preference points for Buy American compliance, service-disabled veteran business enterprises, and organizations for the blind or sheltered workshops, with incumbent contracts extended through March 31, 2026. Both opportunities indicate typewriters remain in the procurement mix for institutional and specialized use cases, though they appear bundled with other electronic commodities rather than solicited as standalone line items.
