NIGP 98454: Peripheral Miscellaneous Rental or Lease: Keyboards, Mice, Monitors, etc.

NIGP 98454 Peripheral Miscellaneous Rental or Lease: Keyboards, Mice, Monitors, Etc., an Item code, encompasses the rental or lease of computer peripheral equipment and monitors for use across state and local operations. In practice, state and local agencies solicit catalog-discount contracts for technology equipment and peripherals, establishing master agreements with competitive percentage discounts off manufacturer price lists rather than fixed-quantity purchase orders. The School District of Manatee County, Florida's April 2026 competitive procurement (Solicitation 260107KD) exemplifies this approach: the district sought vendors to supply technology equipment, software, and services on a catalog-discount basis to multiple school sites, evaluating bids on competitive pricing, product variety, scheduling capability, and service quality without committing to minimum purchase volumes.

The geographic and issuing-body activity under this code is presently limited in the recent-opportunity record, with the Manatee County Schools procurement representing the most recent documented state and local activity as of mid-2026. The school district's RFQ process (with bid submission deadline of March 24, 2026, and School Board award anticipated on or about April 28, 2026) establishes a five-year contract term from May 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, with a nonexclusive purchasing arrangement that explicitly allows the district to continue using existing Florida Department of Management Services statewide contracts and other cooperative agreements concurrently. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise designations applied to this solicitation; awarded contractors must accept Purchasing Card payments and provide F.O.B. Destination freight to multiple district locations, with disaster-situation purchases billed at actual cost without markup. The district reserved no minimum purchase commitment, leaving order volume entirely dependent on District personnel purchasing decisions.
