NIGP 80563: Scoreboards, Sports

NIGP 80563 Scoreboards, Sports, an Item code, encompasses the supply, installation, and management of scoreboard and LED display systems for athletic facilities and sports venues. State and local governments procure digital scoreboards, LED video displays, electronic message boards, and integrated control systems for stadiums, school gymnasiums, athletic centers, and outdoor sports complexes. Recent solicitations show school districts and county systems requesting everything from traditional multi-sport scoreboards with wireless controls to advanced center-hung video board systems featuring multiple large-format displays and customizable content programming. The code sees activity across school districts, county governments, universities, and municipalities, with Gwinnett County Public Schools establishing a statewide cooperative purchasing vehicle and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners operating a two-year rolling procurement for multiple facility installations.
