NIGP 80539: Bowling Equipment (incl. Lawn Bowling)

NIGP 80539 Bowling Equipment (Incl. Lawn Bowling), an Item code, does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities show that public bodies use this code to procure lawn care, grounds maintenance, and athletic equipment across a fragmented issuing-body base: school districts, counties, universities, and cooperative purchasing organizations. Donna Independent School District in Texas is seeking catalog discounts on lawn equipment and supplies including chainsaws, trimmers, mowers, blades, sprayers, and landscape tools for the 2026-2027 school year. White County Board of Commissioners in Georgia is procuring chemical application services for turf management at three parks and recreation facilities. Albany State University within the University System of Georgia is establishing one or more vendors for athletic equipment, apparel, and customization services to support intercollegiate athletics. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity, is issuing a statewide RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating Washington counties and jurisdictions nationwide.

The code sees recent activity in Texas, Georgia, Minnesota, and Washington state through a mix of school districts, county governments, and public universities.
