NIGP 80554: Golfing Equipment

NIGP 80554 Golfing Equipment, an Item code, covers consumable and durable supplies for golf course operations and retail sales — flagsticks, cups, hole-cutting assemblies, on-course signage and markers, rakes, clubhouse equipment like ball washers, golf balls across price tiers, clubs, footwear, apparel, accessories, and specialized systems such as golf simulators. State and local golf operators—city parks and recreation departments, independent school districts, county recreation authorities, and municipal golf courses—procure these goods on both as-needed and term-contract bases through RFQ, IFB, and RFP notices. Recent activity shows city and county parks departments anchoring the market (Fort Worth Parks and Recreation, Atlanta City Golf, Fulton County, Park City Municipal Golf Course), joined by school districts seeking athletic golf equipment and supplies alongside other sports categories (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Austin ISD). Specialized one-off projects—golf simulator installations, perimeter netting systems designed to mitigate errant-ball hazard—also fall under the code when procured as turnkey systems or engineering-design services.

Geographic concentration appears in Texas (Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio), Georgia (Atlanta, Fulton County), and Utah (Park City, Marriott-Slaterville), with additional activity in New Jersey (Bergen County cooperative purchasing), Kentucky, and multi-state cooperative sourcing through Sourcewell. Representative current opportunities include the City of Fort Worth RFQt for golf course supplies (flagsticks, cups, markers, rakes, clubhouse equipment) posted October 14, 2026, due October 20, with SBE certification preference (5% bid preference for contracts to $100,000; 30% utilization target above); Atlanta City Golf IFB for greens renovation at Chastain Park (due October 21); Northside ISD IFB consolidating four expiring athletic and golf equipment contracts (due October 19); Fulton County IFB for golf course retail merchandise—soft goods, hard goods, apparel, footwear, accessories (due October 2); and the City of Bowling Green RFP for a turnkey golf simulator system including hardware, software, installation, and support (due September 16). Bergen County, New Jersey has issued two re-bids for golf range equipment and supplies through cooperative purchasing with multiple-vendor catalogs on 24-month terms (May and June 2026).
