NIGP 88061: Projectors, Overhead Transparency; Carrying Cases; Parts; And Accessories

NIGP 88061 Projectors, Overhead Transparency; Carrying Cases; Parts; And Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure classroom and venue projectors, related audio-visual equipment, installation and removal services, repair and maintenance support, and theater system upgrades. Recent solicitations show school districts, colleges, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles sourcing complete turnkey classroom technology solutions, specialized venue projection systems with integration services, and field repairs. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued an indefinite quantity contract (RFP 2026072, due August 6, 2026) consolidating two expired contracts for classroom projectors, AV equipment procurement, installation, removal, and repair services across District facilities. Valencia College District in Florida (RFP 202626, due April 30, 2026) sought a full-service integrator to manage purchase, installation, programming, and support of projectors and related technology across approximately 900 classrooms and conference rooms at nine campuses, with an estimated five-year opportunity spanning $1.6 million in annual historical spending. Salt Lake County (SLCOCLP31026RFI, March 2026) pursued a sole-source upgrade of projectors and Digistar 2025 theater management software at Clark Planetarium's Hansen Dome Theatre for $388,200. These opportunities reveal demand across K–12 school districts, higher education, and special-purpose venues, with issuing bodies ranging from individual districts to regional cooperatives.

Activity spans Texas, Florida, Utah, and multi-state cooperative purchasing frameworks. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026), advertised law enforcement equipment procurement available to governmental agencies and public entities across the United States and Canada, indicating broader geographic reach through cooperative vehicles. The code sees sustained activity from school districts pursuing standard classroom upgrades and specialized institutional buyers seeking integrated projection and control systems with local service support. Recent procurements emphasize turnkey service delivery—equipment supply bundled with design, installation, programming, repair, and warranty support—rather than transactional equipment sales alone, suggesting that competitive positioning requires integration capability, local service presence, and manufacturer partnerships in addition to product supply.
