NIGP 99881: Printing Equipment, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99881 Printing Equipment, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items is an Item code that captures state and local government disposal and trade activity involving surplus equipment and confiscated property exchanged for new goods or credits. The scope of work under this code encompasses asset recovery transactions where jurisdictions trade, sell, or swap obsolete or seized equipment—including firearms, printing machinery, fleet vehicles, and other capital assets—to licensed dealers or vendors in exchange for newer equipment, direct credit toward new purchases, or cash settlement. Issuing bodies span city police departments, county purchasing offices, municipal transportation agencies, and city governments executing asset management and modernization initiatives. The mix reflects both tactical disposal (confiscated weapons held by law enforcement seeking disposition) and strategic capital replacement (departments upgrading aging fleet or equipment with vendor credit applied toward contemporary systems).
