NIGP 98156: Police Equipment Supplies Rental or Lease

NIGP 98156 Police Equipment Supplies Rental or Lease is an Item code covering the short-term or long-term lease and rental of equipment and supplies used by law enforcement agencies in their operations and administration. State and local police departments, sheriff's offices, and other law enforcement bodies use this code to procure temporary access to specialized equipment—such as K-9 handling gear, riot control apparatus, surveillance and detection devices, communication equipment, and portable holding or containment systems—rather than purchase them outright, along with consumable supplies that support equipment deployment. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily municipal police departments, county sheriff's offices, and state law enforcement agencies, though special-purpose districts managing their own law enforcement functions also appear as occasional users of the code.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 98156, and accordingly does not support characterization of geographic concentration, representative recent solicitations, or issuing-body repeat-buyer patterns. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state purchasing portals and county/municipal procurement websites directly, as the absence of recent posted activity may reflect the specialized and intermittent nature of law enforcement equipment leasing — many police agencies manage equipment leases through standing cooperative purchasing vehicles or direct vendor relationships rather than competitive RFP or IFB cycles.
