NIGP 78532: Classroom Equipment and Supplies (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 78532 Classroom Equipment And Supplies (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses textbooks, instructional materials, reading and video content, audiovisual equipment, visual timers, sensory and therapeutic classroom products, and curriculum-specific materials that state and local governments procure for K-12 classroom instruction. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of catalog discount contracts for broad inventory access, equipment purchases with installation and repair services, and targeted curriculum materials aligned to specific grade levels, subjects, or student populations such as early literacy, science education, and autism spectrum disorder interventions. Issuing bodies span independent school districts, county school systems, regional purchasing cooperatives, and municipal and county governments in their capacity as education buyers. School districts dominate activity; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, which aggregates demand across member districts, manages one of the largest recent procurements with estimated total expenditures of $21,568,516.00 across a two-year contract term for classroom furniture and supplies.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (State of Texas, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District), Georgia (Fayette County Public Schools), New York (County of Rockland), Delaware (New Castle County Department of Finance), Illinois (School District U-46 covering Cook, DuPage, and Kane counties, and Cook County Government), and Pennsylvania (City of Philadelphia).
