NIGP 80541: Cricket Equipment and Accessories

NIGP 80541 Cricket Equipment and Accessories, an Item code, appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as athletic equipment and supplies sourced through cooperative purchasing vehicles and institutional RFPs rather than cricket-specific procurement. Recent solicitations under this code reflect demand for general athletic goods, apparel, and customization services across multiple issuing-body types — state university systems, regional purchasing cooperatives, and multi-jurisdictional law enforcement consortia. The scope encompasses catalog discount arrangements for ongoing athletic equipment purchases, customized apparel and sports gear for intercollegiate athletics programs, and law enforcement equipment solutions available through cooperative framework agreements. Issuing bodies include higher education institutions (Albany State University), regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative procurement vehicle serving thousands of public entities nationwide.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and South, with recent opportunities posted from Minnesota (Sourcewell serving Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima), Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and Georgia (Albany State University). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued an RFP for athletic equipment and supplies with an estimated expenditure of $13,523,279 across a two-year contract period (April 16, 2026 through April 16, 2028), closed March 26, 2026, establishing catalog discount pricing for member organizations. Albany State University issued an eRFQ for athletic equipment, apparel, and customization services for Division II intercollegiate athletics, closed March 26, 2026. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including multiple Washington counties and broader public sector organizations, closed June 16, 2026, through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.
