NIGP 88040: Previewers, Sorters, and Viewers (for Filmstrips, Slides, etc. -Not Projectors or Film Editors and Viewers)

NIGP 88040 Previewers, Sorters, and Viewers (for Filmstrips, Slides, Etc.—Not Projectors or Film Editors and Viewers), Item code, encompasses optical inspection and media-handling equipment used by state and local agencies, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code is sparse. State and local governments procure under this code previewers, sorters, and viewers—optical or mechanical devices used to inspect, organize, and view filmstrips, slides, and similar media formats without involving projection or editing functions. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state cooperative purchasing vehicles, county governments, and city procurement offices, though the posting record shows limited recent activity.

A single recent opportunity appears in the record: Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, seeking law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other jurisdictions, public entities, tribal governments, and nonprofits throughout the United States and Canada. However, this posting addresses law enforcement equipment broadly and does not explicitly reference previewers, sorters, or viewers as a discrete line item within the solicitation scope. Geographic activity under this code concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest, with Sourcewell's Minnesota administrative base and Washington-based participating counties as the named anchor jurisdictions. The sparse recent posting record suggests minimal state and local procurement activity under this specific code in the current market window.
