NIGP 95383: Sports

NIGP 95383 Sports, an Item code, encompasses the purchase and installation of athletic facilities and equipment, the procurement of athletic insurance programs, and the contracting of officiating and event-management services for youth and adult sports activities. State and local governments buy concrete work under this code — most visibly, design and installation of basketball courts with goal systems, drainage, and surface preparation — alongside comprehensive student-athlete accident and catastrophic insurance policies with integrated network and billing features, secondary athletic injury coverage for college student participants, and officiating services for scheduled youth and adult basketball and football games. School districts represent the dominant issuing body, appearing across multiple recent solicitations for both athletic facilities and insurance programs; colleges and universities issue separately for student-athlete supplemental coverage; and municipal recreation departments solicit for community-level officiating services. Georgia and Florida carry the highest recent activity, with Georgia school districts and state colleges active in athletic insurance procurement and Florida municipalities soliciting officiating contracts.
