NIGP 78502: Agendas/Planners, Student

NIGP 78502 Agendas/Planners, Student is an Item code covering instructional materials and classroom supplies that state and local education buyers procure through catalog discount bid models, where vendors offer percentage discounts off published pricing rather than fixed unit costs. The State of Texas and regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, using invitation-for-bid and RFP notice types to establish multi-vendor contracts for ongoing fulfillment of student planners, agendas, and related classroom instructional materials. Awarded vendors are expected to maintain inventory availability and fulfill orders within agreed-upon timeframes under negotiated discount structures.

Texas dominates recent activity under the code. The State of Texas issued Invitation for Catalog Discount Bid ICAT2628 on October 19, 2026, with responses due November 19, 2026, for instructional materials at negotiated catalog discounts. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, serving school districts across Texas, issued RFP CLSF2628 for Classroom Furniture & Supplies with an estimated total expenditure of $21,568,516 over a two-year contract term (June 18, 2026 through June 18, 2028); that solicitation closed May 26, 2026, and historically awarded 62 vendors, indicating a broad vendor base and repeat-buyer pattern within the cooperative purchasing structure.
