NIGP 91703: Contract Equipment, Capital

NIGP 91703 Contract Equipment, Capital is an Item code under which state and local governments procure equipment assets to be held and used over multiple fiscal years, typically through capital budget cycles rather than operational spending. The scope covers durable goods and machinery purchased as fixed assets—equipment that agencies retain for sustained operational use rather than consumable or short-term rental arrangements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments, county governments, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts, each deploying capital equipment procurement to replace aging assets, expand capacity, or support new service lines within their jurisdictions.
