NIGP 99882: Rags, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99882 Rags, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items is an Item code covering the disposition of used, confiscated, and surplus goods held by state and local agencies. State and local governments use this code when liquidating assets no longer needed for operations—including used equipment, confiscated property, and surplus inventory—typically through trade, credit, or cash sales to licensed dealers or qualified buyers. The issuing bodies under this code span law enforcement agencies, municipal departments, and other public entities with authority to dispose of seized or obsolete assets. In the current market, solicitations under the code focus on high-value confiscated or surplus items where the agency seeks either direct sale proceeds or trade credit toward needed equipment or materials.

Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department issued RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026, offering 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers in trade or credit toward Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories, with sealed bids due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET. The department requires bidders to hold a current Federal Firearm License and, where applicable, a State Firearm License; award goes to the highest responsive and responsible bidder offering the greatest purchase credit or swap value, subject to City Council approval. The confiscated lot comprises .223 caliber weapons with 14" barrels, and the H&K rifles must include three 30-round magazines per rifle, gas-operated short stroke piston, rotating bolt, and adjustable rear stock with six positions. Bid security equal to five percent of total bid value must accompany submission, and the successful bidder must complete the transfer within ten calendar days of award or forfeit the security deposit.
