NIGP 68088: Targets,Target Pasters, and Rifle Range Equipment (Including Portable Shooting Ranges and Range Finders)

NIGP 68088 Targets, Target Pasters, and Rifle Range Equipment (Including Portable Shooting Ranges and Range Finders), an Item code, encompasses the procurement and rental of shooting range infrastructure, operational services, specialized training equipment, and related support by state and local law enforcement, corrections, and military training agencies. Recent solicitations reflect a shift toward range operations and maintenance contracting rather than equipment sales alone—agencies are buying turnkey range services, facility access, range staffing, and equipment replacement rather than purchasing targets or range components outright.

State law enforcement agencies dominate the recent buyer mix, with the California Department of Highway Patrol issuing multiple weapons firing range use service solicitations across regional area offices (Fresno, Madera, Indio, Baldwin Park, Santa Rosa, Oceanside, Central Los Angeles) throughout 2026. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has solicited both firing range facility access and range rental services for mandatory firearms training at multiple locations. County and municipal police departments are also active—the County of San Mateo recently solicited quotations for replacement of steel backdrops (Action Target TCT5 shells) at its indoor and outdoor ranges due October 16, 2026 (RFQ 2027RFQ00135), and the City of Pasadena Police Department procured a mobile simunition shoot house for close-quarters training (due September 20, 2024). The Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted an RFB for a firearms trade transaction involving used and confiscated weapons exchanged for Heckler & Koch MR556 rifles due October 14, 2026. State military departments also use the code: the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs issued an RFP for simulated military training equipment and consumable munitions (due May 22, 2026) and the Texas Military Department solicited stationary infantry target replacement parts (due June 22, 2026). Activity concentrates in California, where CHP and CDCR solicitations account for the majority of recent postings, with secondary activity in Texas, Michigan, Florida (Clay County Outdoor Adventure Park), Georgia (Columbus), and North Carolina (Charlotte).
