NIGP 90572: Spacecraft Services (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 90572 Spacecraft Services (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, does not reflect the actual purchasing activity identified under this code in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this classification reveals a fundamental mismatch: Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas used NIGP 90572 to solicit Career Technical Education (CTE) and Advanced Academics instructional resources, products, materials, equipment, memberships, and related services across 17 distinct CTE program areas including agricultural science, architecture and construction, arts and communications, barbering and cosmetology, business and finance, criminal justice, health sciences, hospitality, information technology, manufacturing and robotics, welding, ROTC, and transportation. Deliverables encompass instructional supplies and materials, dual credit materials, STEM enrichment resources, test preparation materials, technology software and equipment, textbooks, and specialized equipment, with vendors responsible for delivery, installation, implementation, maintenance, and support services. This solicitation reflects school district procurement activity rather than spacecraft services.

Klein ISD issued RFP #26-101 on April 17, 2026, with proposals due June 5, 2026, through the Bonfire purchasing system. The district encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE vendor participation and requires all vendors to be licensed in Texas and Harris County, maintain $1,000,000 minimum general liability and workers' compensation coverage, provide three references, and submit standard compliance documentation. Award recommendations are targeted for August 10, 2026, with the contract beginning September 1, 2026, as a firm fixed-price agreement with an initial one-year term and four optional one-year renewals. The solicitation does not specify an overall budget range or award value, and contract award does not guarantee minimum quantities or compensation. The mismatch between the NIGP code title and the actual procurement signals potential indexing errors in state and local procurement systems; vendors pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity or service classification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
