NIGP 80577: Tables, Score (for Scorer's Use)

NIGP 80577 Tables, Score (For Scorer's Use) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure athletic scoreboards, scorekeeping tables, and related equipment for sports facilities and athletic programs. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing complete scoring systems—including physical scoreboards, control tables, software, installation, and ongoing service support—as integrated packages rather than component parts. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas consolidated four expiring athletic-equipment contracts into a single IFB posted October 1, 2026 (IFB2026137, due October 19, 2026) that bundles athletic equipment, supplies, software, and related services, indicating that scorekeeping and scoring tables are procured alongside broader athletic-program acquisitions rather than in isolation.

Geographic activity centers in Texas, with NISD as a named buyer. A parallel opportunity—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline—demonstrates that cooperative purchasing vehicles administered by state local government units and service cooperatives (in this case, Sourcewell, a Minnesota entity operating under Washington state law) aggregate procurement across multiple counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima in Washington, and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide) to establish framework agreements available to thousands of public entities. The NISD IFB requires vendors to include shipping and handling costs to the District and mandates that current suppliers respond to maintain existing business, signaling vendor-consolidation pressure in school-district athletic procurement. No recent solicitations in the source specifically isolate scoring tables as a standalone procurement line item, suggesting that this code functions primarily within broader athletic-equipment or sports-facility packages rather than generating high-volume stand-alone business.
