NIGP 78557: Erasers and Cleaners, Chalkboard and Dry Erase Board

NIGP 78557 Erasers And Cleaners, Chalkboard And Dry Erase Board is an Item code under which state and local governments procure erasers, cleaning supplies, and related consumables for classroom and instructional settings. The State of Texas recently posted an Invitation for Catalog Discount Bid (ICAT2628) on October 19, 2026, requesting percentage discounts off published catalog prices for instructional materials and related products, with proposals due November 19, 2026. This procurement establishes a framework for the state to purchase instructional materials at negotiated rates from awarded vendors, who are expected to maintain inventory availability and fulfill orders within agreed-upon timeframes. Pricing must remain valid throughout the contract term.

Activity under this code appears limited in the recent posting record, with the Texas state instructional materials solicitation representing the primary visible opportunity. Geographic focus centers on Texas based on the available recent opportunity. The solicitation type—an invitation for catalog discount bids rather than a competitive RFP or IFB—suggests that state and local buyers under this code often use cooperative purchasing or framework agreements to establish standing vendors for consumable supplies, with individual orders placed against negotiated discounts throughout the contract term.
