NIGP 80509: Archery Equipment

NIGP 80509 Archery Equipment is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized shooting sports infrastructure, target systems, and related equipment. Recent solicitations show a mix of trap machine installations, automated targeting systems, and athletic supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issued an ITB in September 2026 for international trap shooting equipment at Jacksonville Clay Target Sports, including 15 Promatic Olympic trap sets, console units, controllers, and complete installation services with an estimated budget of $80,000. The Florida Department of Military Affairs concurrently pursued sole-source repair and maintenance for Meggitt Target Systems at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, valued at $225,000. These acquisitions underscore government demand for both capital equipment and ongoing technical services in competitive shooting facilities.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include wildlife and natural resources agencies, military training centers, and educational purchasing cooperatives. The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies solicited athletic supplies and equipment (AEPA #027-E) on behalf of 31 state member agencies through a cooperative vehicle with responses due August 13, 2026, and Sourcewell issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies across the United States and Canada, with proposals due June 16, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with multi-state cooperative procurement extending reach to Georgia and other participating jurisdictions. The trapshooter and targeting-systems work reflects specialized demand; responses typically require demonstrated experience installing proprietary systems and capacity to deliver and install within compressed timelines—the Jacksonville trap machine contract imposed a 60-business-day installation window with liquidated damages of $200 per day for delays.
