NIGP 86070: Tickets, Reserved Type

NIGP 86070 Tickets, Reserved Type (Item) encompasses ticketing infrastructure, systems, and supplies that state and local governments procure to manage event access and revenue across public venues. State and local activity under this code centers on two distinct work streams: ticketing system software platforms with integrated hardware, e-commerce, real-time inventory management, and multi-channel sales capabilities (online, mobile, in-person); and consumable ticketing supplies including bag tags, thermal paper, and blank Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass stock. Issuing bodies include city departments managing public event venues (arts and entertainment divisions), county airport authorities, and specialized transit or facility-management entities. The work typically involves multi-year contracts with vendor selection weighted toward system capability, service quality, and pricing value rather than lowest cost.

Recent solicitations show activity in Florida and California. The City of Daytona Beach issued RFP 2501RFP (due October 30, 2024) for a comprehensive ticketing system serving the Peabody Auditorium (2,529 seats, 75+ events annually) and Oceanfront Bandshell (5,000 capacity, 50+ events annually), evaluated on a 100-point weighted scale prioritizing system capabilities (30 points), service capabilities (20 points), e-commerce and marketing tools (20 points), multi-venue experience (15 points), and pricing (15 points), with a 10% MBE/WBE participation goal. The County of Sacramento Department of Airports issued an RFP for bag tags, thermal paper, and blank ATB stock under a two-year initial contract with three optional one-year extensions, through Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA), a cooperative purchasing vehicle available to governmental, educational, and non-profit entities. Both solicitations reflect municipalities managing high-volume event venues and transportation facilities requiring reliable, integrated ticketing infrastructure.
