NIGP 98579: Ticket Dispensing and Collection Equipment Rental or Lease

NIGP 98579 Ticket Dispensing And Collection Equipment Rental Or Lease, an Item code, encompasses the rental or leasing of parking meters, fare collection equipment, and related ticketing systems that state and local governments deploy for on-street parking management and transit fare collection. Recent solicitations show that municipalities are seeking integrated curb and parking management services that include technology-enabled enforcement and collection capabilities, along with the underlying equipment and systems to support those operations. The issuing bodies pursuing this code span city transportation departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts and education service centers, reflecting a mix of direct municipal procurement and coordinated multi-entity purchasing.

The City of Atlanta Department of Transportation posted an IFB for on-street parking and curb management services due August 4, 2026, seeking a qualified service provider to optimize curbside availability across the city—a solicitation that typically involves rental or lease of parking enforcement and collection equipment as a component of broader curb management. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628) with a response deadline of July 30, 2026, estimating total expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year term through August 20, 2028. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with the Atlanta solicitation representing significant city-level purchasing interest in integrated parking technology and collection systems.
