NIGP 80596: Recycled Sporting Goods and Athletic Equipment and Accessories

NIGP 80596 Recycled Sporting Goods and Athletic Equipment and Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure athletic equipment, apparel, uniforms, footwear, supplies, and related services—predominantly through school districts and community colleges. Recent solicitations span weight room equipment packages (Rogers Athletic racks, benches, dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands with full installation); team uniforms, apparel, and footwear for multiple sports programs across all grade levels; strength and conditioning and powerlifting supplies; audio-visual systems for athletics; and fitness equipment maintenance and repair services covering commercial multi-brand systems. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts (Northside ISD, Austin ISD, Harlingen CISD, Trion City Schools, Fort Bend ISD in Texas; Randolph County School System in Georgia) and community college districts (Mt. San Antonio College in California), with periodic municipal recreation and fitness facility procurements (City of Tucson Parks and Recreation, Police, and Fire departments; Sarasota County beach recreation). School districts dominate the recent activity and represent the most consistent buyers under this code.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Harlingen, Fort Bend), with secondary presence in California (Mt. SAC), Georgia (Trion, Randolph County), Arizona (Tucson), and Florida (Sarasota County).
