NIGP 80316: Disc Players, Compact (Mp3, etc.)

NIGP 80316 Disc Players, Compact (MP3, Etc.), an Item code, appears in state and local procurement activity centered on educational technology and institutional supplies procurement, where the code rolls up purchases of portable audio devices and related compact disc or digital media players serving classrooms, conference rooms, and institutional learning environments. The issuing bodies are primarily education service centers and school districts acting through cooperative purchasing vehicles, supplemented by individual college districts. The scope of work reflects institutional bulk procurement of technology infrastructure rather than consumer retail — Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, serving multiple school districts statewide, and Valencia College District in Florida both solicited technology and educational supplies on a multi-institutional, multi-location basis.

Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative posted Invitation for Catalog Discount Bid EDACT2628 on June 15, 2026, with proposals due July 30, 2026, seeking educational activities and supplies on a two-year contract term (August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028) with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion across the cooperative's member network; a prior EDACT2324 cycle in February 2026 generated $16.948 million in estimated volume across 141 respondents. Valencia College District Board of Trustees issued RFP 2026-26 on April 6, 2026, due April 30, 2026, for comprehensive classroom and conference room technology services across nine campuses and approximately 900 rooms, with historical annual spending of $1.6 million and a three-year initial contract term with two optional one-year extensions. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with the cooperative purchasing model serving as the dominant procurement vehicle for educational institutions in the region.
