NIGP 99811: Barber and Beauty Shop Equipment, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99811 Barber And Beauty Shop Equipment, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items is an Item code under which state and local governments dispose of used, confiscated, and surplus property through trade, credit, or cash transactions. The scope extends well beyond the legacy NIGP description—recent solicitations show that jurisdictions use this code to liquidate or exchange seized assets, including firearms, in transactions structured as competitive bids where the highest responsible bidder offering maximum credit value or trade offset wins. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal police departments and consolidated city governments managing confiscated property inventories. The transactional structure requires bidders to hold appropriate federal and state licenses (such as Federal Firearm Licenses for weapons dispositions) and to assume all transfer documentation, permitting, and compliance responsibility upon award.

Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026, seeking a trade-in or credit swap of 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories, with sealed bids due October 14, 2026. The solicitation required bidders to submit five percent bid security, notarized E-Verify affidavits, copies of federal and state firearm licenses, and conflict-of-interest documentation. Award criteria prioritized the highest responsive and responsible bid offering the greatest purchase credit or swap value, subject to City Council approval. Firearm inspection appointments were available September 30, 2026 between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM through Deputy Chief Ronnie Hastings. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code are present in the source.
