NIGP 84068: VCR/DVD/Television Combinations

NIGP 84068 VCR/DVD/Television Combinations is an Item code under which state and local governments procure audio-visual display equipment for educational and community programming; however, recent solicitation activity shows the code name does not align with current buying patterns. San Antonio Independent School District has posted multiple continuous-open RFPs under the student activities and fundraising commodity, most recently solicitation 24-021 (22) due October 15, 2026, seeking vendors for goods and services that support student engagement and fundraising operations—a scope far broader than standalone video playback equipment. The State of Texas and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative have issued catalog discount bids for instructional materials (ICAT2628 due November 19, 2026, and ICAT2223 due December 8, 2022, respectively) that establish framework pricing for bulk purchasing across school systems and educational service centers. The City of Peoria solicited turnkey outdoor movie event management services (RFP P260075, due July 30, 2026) for its ParkFest community entertainment program. School districts and education service centers dominate recent solicitation activity, supplemented by municipal and state-level buyers. San Antonio Independent School District appears as a repeat buyer across multiple continuous-open RFPs issued between May and September 2026, each seeking student-activity-related goods and services.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, with San Antonio Independent School District and State of Texas posting multiple notices, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (serving Texas school systems), and the City of Peoria, Arizona all issuing RFPs or catalog bids between May and October 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based state and local government cooperative, issued a law enforcement equipment RFP (061626, due June 16, 2026) that offers contracting solutions across thousands of governmental agencies nationwide, though the scope diverges substantially from video combinations. The San Antonio Independent School District's most recent student-activities RFP (24-021, issued May 18, 2026) specifies contract validity through June 30, 2030, requires a minimum of five Texas school district client references active or completed since January 1, 2020, mandates bonding of at least $100,000 dedicated to the district, and caps vendor fees at 25 percent per fundraiser. Contracts exceeding $25,000 require performance and payment bonds. Payment terms are net thirty days. The State of Texas instructional catalog bid (ICAT2628) requests percentage discounts off published prices with pricing valid throughout the contract term and requires vendors to maintain inventory availability and fulfill orders within agreed-upon timeframes.
