NIGP 71587: Textbooks: 9th Thru 12th Grade (Includes Student and Teacher Editions)

NIGP 71587 Textbooks: 9th Through 12th Grade (Includes Student and Teacher Editions) is an Item code covering secondary-level textbooks and related instructional materials that state and local school districts actively acquire through adoption cycles, curriculum replacements, and disposition of surplus inventory. Recent procurement activity under this code spans textbook adoption RFIs from Virginia school districts seeking art curriculum materials aligned to K-12 standards, Texas independent school districts issuing direct textbook purchase bids, Georgia school districts procuring comprehensive social studies and instructional resources aligned to state standards, and sealed-bid sales of obsolete textbooks by individual districts. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with both individual independent and consolidated school districts (Harlingen CISD in Texas, DeKalb County School District and Henry County Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood School District in Missouri) and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas) posting opportunities. The code also sees activity through cooperative purchasing vehicles that bundle textbooks with broader instructional materials and supplies catalogs serving multiple member districts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri, with recent solicitations spanning DeKalb County and Henry County school districts in Georgia; Harlingen CISD and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas; Gwinnett County Schools in Georgia; Rockwood School District in St. Louis County, Missouri; and Prince William County and Portsmouth City in Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include DeKalb County School District issuing RFQ 26-725 on February 12, 2026, for K-12 social studies instructional resources aligned to Georgia standards with proposals due March 12, 2026; Henry County Schools posting solicitation 2026-170000-0128 on January 28, 2026, seeking textbooks and digital and print materials aligned to Georgia Standards of Excellence with a March 18, 2026 deadline; Rockwood School District issuing an RFB on May 8, 2026, for the sale of over 5,000 obsolete K-12 textbooks with sealed bids due May 22, 2026; and Harlingen CISD posting bid TBKS0326 for textbooks on March 5, 2026.
