NIGP 98484: Servers, Rental or Lease

NIGP 98484 Servers, Rental Or Lease is an Item code covering server and tape storage equipment leasing and rental services that state and local governments procure to support IT infrastructure without capital acquisition. State and local issuing bodies — including state procurement offices, counties, cities, and school districts — use this code when they need short-term or long-term server capacity, backup and archival tape systems, or hybrid rental arrangements to meet fluctuating workload demands or to bridge technology transitions. The code captures both standalone equipment rental and bundled services that may include maintenance, support, and refreshes during the lease term.

The State of Illinois issued a recent server and tape rental procurement, SP-IFA-Server and Tape Rentals-2025 (Solicitation 26560IFAIFA56B52520), posted May 14, 2026, with proposals due May 28, 2026. Beyond this single recent posting, the source does not provide sufficient detail on issuing-body frequency, geographic concentration, or additional representative recent opportunities to characterize market activity or procurement patterns under this code.
