NIGP 99819: Builders Supplies, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99819 Builders Supplies, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items is an Item code covering the disposition of surplus and confiscated assets held by state and local agencies. State and local governments use this code when liquidating or trading used equipment, inventory, and seized property rather than disposing of it, including firearms, vehicles, construction materials, and other durable goods no longer needed for operations. Issuing bodies span police departments, public works departments, school districts, transit authorities, and other municipal and county agencies managing inventory reduction or asset recovery. The work typically involves RFB (Request for Bid) or RFQ (Request for Quote) solicitations structured as competitive trade-in, credit, or cash transactions where vendors bid on lots of confiscated or surplus items, often with the option to apply credit toward new equipment purchases.

Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026, soliciting bids for trade or credit on 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers in exchange for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories, with sealed bids due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET. Award is made to the highest responsive and responsible bidder offering the greatest purchase credit or swap value, subject to City Council approval. Bidders must hold a current Federal Firearm License and, where applicable, a State Firearm License. Firearm inspections were available by appointment only on September 30, 2026 between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The successful bidder assumes responsibility for all transfer documentation, permits, and taxes, with completion required within ten calendar days of award, and must submit five percent bid security along with notarized E-Verify affidavit, federal and state firearm licenses, Form W-9, current business license, Conflict of Interest Affidavit, and Communication Concerning This Solicitation form.
