NIGP 62513: Binoculars

NIGP 62513 Binoculars, an Item code, captures state and local procurement of optical viewing equipment, primarily night-vision systems and tactical binoculars for law enforcement and public safety agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying specialized binocular night-vision systems—such as Generation III White Phosphor image intensification units with specific optical performance standards—and integrated tactical aiming systems for sheriff's offices and fire rescue operations. Issuing bodies include county sheriffs' offices, county public safety departments, and cooperative purchasing entities representing multiple jurisdictions across multiple states. The code encompasses both one-time equipment purchases and standing supply arrangements for operational deployments.

County government dominates the recent activity, with Santa Clara County, California issuing a February 2026 ITB for 25 units of EOTECH BinoNV-W Goggles featuring Generation III White Phosphor tubes, 47-degree field of view, and Wilcox G24 mount integration; Jackson County, Missouri posted a July 2026 one-time purchase RFQ for Sheriff's Office night vision goggles with bids due July 14, 2026; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued an RFP #061626 in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, serving thousands of governmental agencies and public entities across the United States and Canada, including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington. Santa Clara County's procurement applies a 5% local business preference and requires brand-new products with two-year warranties. Activity spans California, Missouri, Minnesota, and Washington; additional regional distribution appears present through the Sourcewell cooperative vehicle but geographic detail is limited to the named participating counties.
