NIGP 96340: Fees, Symposium

NIGP 96340 Fees, Symposium is an Item code under which state and local governments procure educational conference registrations, symposium attendance fees, and professional development event access for staff participation and learning. However, the recent solicitation activity under this code reflects a broader scope: Klein Independent School District (Klein ISD) in Harris County, Texas issued RFP #26-101 on April 17, 2026, for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources, memberships, and related services spanning Advanced Placement, dual credit, gifted and talented education, and seventeen distinct CTE program areas including agricultural science, architecture and construction, health sciences, manufacturing and robotics, and welding. The procurement encompasses instructional supplies, test preparation materials, technology software and equipment, textbooks, and specialized equipment, with vendors responsible for delivery, installation, maintenance, and support. School districts dominate recent solicitation activity under this code, with Klein ISD actively encouraging HUB, MWBE, SBE, veteran-owned, and small business participation while requiring Texas business licensure, $1,000,000 minimum general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and Federal Debarment certifications.

Klein ISD's RFP #26-101 represents the primary recent opportunity under the code, with a response deadline of June 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM through the Bonfire purchasing system, a questions deadline of May 15, 2026, and anticipated contract award by August 10, 2026, for a September 1, 2026 start date. The district reserves the right to award by category to multiple vendors and permits vendors to respond to one or more of the multiple instructional categories within the single RFP. The contract is structured as firm fixed-price with a one-year initial term and four optional one-year renewals, though no minimum purchase quantities or overall budget range is specified in the solicitation. Geographic activity under the code appears concentrated in Texas, specifically Harris County, based on recent postings.
