About NIGP 78505
NIGP 78505 Atlases, Charts, Globes, and Maps is an Item code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses classroom reference materials and educational mapping resources purchased through cooperative purchasing vehicles. State and local education procurement offices—particularly regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts—are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with activity centered on multi-year catalog discount agreements that bundle maps, charts, globes, and related classroom instructional materials alongside broader furniture and supplies procurement.
Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas recently issued RFP CLSF2628 for a Catalog Discount Bid on Classroom Furniture & Supplies with a response deadline of May 26, 2026, and an estimated two-year contract value of $21,568,516. The procurement structure awards multiple vendors (62 previous awardees) to provide discounted catalog access rather than fixed pricing, with evaluation criteria including discount depth, payment terms, and free shipping eligibility. The successful vendors will serve the cooperative's member districts from June 18, 2026, through June 18, 2028, through the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's electronic bidding portal.
