NIGP 05524: Cushions and Covers, Seat, Automotive

NIGP 05524 Cushions and Covers, Seat, Automotive is an Item code encompassing replacement seat cushions and upholstered inserts for transit and municipal vehicle fleets. State and local governments solicit this code primarily for bus seat repair and refurbishment work, where vendors supply replacement cushions upholstered in specification-grade vinyl, perform removal and installation of damaged inserts, and deliver refurbished seats meeting durability and comfort standards. Transit authorities and county transportation departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code.

Broward County Transportation Department issued a representative solicitation (TRN2132247B1, RFQ, response due June 17, 2026) for vinyl bus seat insert repairs funded under FTA programs, requiring vendor pickup of defective seats within two business days and delivery of refurbished inserts within seven business days to two facility locations in Pompano Beach and Dania Beach, Florida. The scope specified replacement in Enduratex Tradewinds Ultramarine vinyl with ASTM 3690 Class A abrasion resistance, 100% virgin material, mildew resistance, and antimicrobial certification; the vendor bore all transportation costs on an F.O.B. Destination basis and provided a minimum one-year manufacturer's defect warranty. Recent activity under this code remains limited; the source contains no additional opportunities beyond the Broward County solicitation and a relocation notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department that does not represent a procurement opportunity.
