NIGP 80563: Scoreboards, Sports

NIGP 80563 Scoreboards, Sports is an Item code covering the procurement and installation of digital display systems, LED video boards, and scoreboard equipment that state and local governments buy for athletic facilities, stadiums, and recreational venues. Recent solicitations show school districts, cities, counties, and cooperative purchasing groups acquiring complete scoreboard and video display systems including full-color LED displays, digital controllers, wireless receivers, installation labor, training, and warranty coverage. The scope spans indoor and outdoor applications across multiple sports (basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, football, soccer, aquatics, wrestling) and extends to ancillary athletic infrastructure such as bleacher and basketball goal inspections and maintenance. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county school boards, charter schools, public universities, cities, counties, and service cooperatives; school districts represent the largest share of recent activity, with multiple district-level RFPs and IFBs posted between July and October 2026. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell also solicit under this code to establish master agreements for multi-state use.

The code sees substantial activity across Texas (Austin ISD, Northside ISD in San Antonio, and Cirrus Academy), Florida (Sarasota County Schools, City of Orlando), Georgia (Gwinnett County Public Schools, Cherokee County School District), the Upper Midwest (Sourcewell, Hudsonville Public Schools in Michigan, Illinois School for the Deaf), Mississippi (Tupelo Public School District), and Connecticut (City of New Haven). Representative recent opportunities include Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP120126 (due December 1, 2026) soliciting scoreboards, digital displays, and video boards for multi-state cooperative use; Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026137 (due October 19, 2026) consolidating athletic equipment, supplies, and software across four expiring contracts; Hudsonville Public Schools' RFPHVP2600000026771 (due October 2, 2026) for LED video display and controller upgrades with pre-bid on September 22, 2026 and mandatory Colorado Timing Systems vendor authorization; the City of Orlando's RFP 260459 for turn-key LED display upgrades at Camping World Stadium (responses due July 9, 2026, amended by Addendum #1 on June 12, 2026); and Gwinnett County Public Schools' RFP-2701KM (due August 10, 2026) establishing a national cooperative purchasing contract for digital signage, scoreboards, video walls, and LED displays across a three-year term. The School Board of Sarasota County rejected all four bids received in June 2026 under IFB #27-0132 for non-responsiveness and announced reissuance.
