NIGP 62596: Recycled Optical Equipment, Accessories and Supplies

NIGP 62596 Recycled Optical Equipment, Accessories And Supplies is an Item code under which state and local governments procure refurbished or reclaimed optical and vision-related equipment and materials for institutional use. The recent solicitation activity shows that this code sits within broader law enforcement equipment procurement frameworks, indicating that state and local agencies are acquiring recycled or surplus optical components—such as tactical optics, surveillance equipment accessories, and related supplies—alongside new equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies using this code span state cooperative purchasing units, county governments, and special-purpose districts. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, has been a primary vehicle for consolidating demand across multiple jurisdictions, enabling smaller counties and municipalities to access recycled optical equipment through standardized contracting.

Vendors submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no bid documents are available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions system. The resulting contract will establish a framework for law enforcement equipment procurement available to thousands of governmental agencies, with participating addenda to be executed as needed.
