NIGP 96341: Fees, Tournament

NIGP 96341 Fees, Tournament is an Item code under which state and local governments procure instructional memberships, competition fees, tournament participation costs, and related academic enrichment services for students and educational programs. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing tournament entry fees, competition registrations, and instructional program memberships spanning Advanced Placement (AP) preparation, dual-credit coursework, gifted and talented education, honors-level instruction, and Career Technical Education (CTE) program areas including agricultural science, architecture and construction, arts and communications, health sciences, information technology, manufacturing and robotics, welding, and ROTC. The scope extends to vendor-provided support services, implementation, and maintenance of competition-related platforms and materials. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts, with Klein Independent School District (Klein ISD) in Harris County, Texas serving as a recent active buyer.

Klein ISD issued RFP #26-101 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources, products, and memberships on April 17, 2026, with electronic proposals due through the Bonfire purchasing system by June 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The district evaluates proposals on best value considering purchase price, vendor reputation, quality, past relationship, total long-term cost, and historically underutilized business (HUB) compliance, though no specific set-asides are implemented. The district actively encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE vendors as prime contractors and subcontractors. The contract structure is firm fixed-price with an initial one-year term and four optional one-year renewals beginning September 1, 2026; the solicitation does not disclose an overall budget or award value, but vendors must submit complete and detailed pricing, with payment contingent on advance purchase order authorization and no minimum quantity guaranteed.
