NIGP 80558: Lacrosse Equipment and Accessories

NIGP 80558 Lacrosse Equipment and Accessories, an Item code, encompasses athletic equipment and apparel procurement by state and local governments, including lacrosse-specific gear, general sports equipment, and customization services supporting school districts, universities, and public agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this Item code broadly within athletic equipment procurement frameworks, purchasing equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles and as-needed supply agreements rather than traditional fixed-price contracts. The issuing bodies include state university systems (such as Albany State University within the University System of Georgia), regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and law enforcement agencies acquiring athletic equipment through cooperative structures managed by entities like Sourcewell on behalf of participating county and municipal jurisdictions.

Geographic activity centers on the Upper Midwest and South, with recent opportunities posted from Minnesota (through Sourcewell's multistate cooperative serving Washington state and Canadian jurisdictions), Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's ITB for Athletic Equipment & Supplies (Bid ATH2628, due March 26, 2026, with estimated two-year expenditures of $13,523,279.00 across its member network); Albany State University's eRFQ for Athletic Equipment, Apparel, and Customization Services (due March 26, 2026); and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and other participating jurisdictions. All three opportunities use catalog discount or as-needed contracting models rather than one-time purchases, creating ongoing revenue streams for qualified vendors.
