NIGP 09532: Beauty Shop Foot Rests

NIGP 09532 Beauty Shop Foot Rests, an Item code, describes salon and cosmetology equipment and fixtures that state and local governments procure for educational and training programs. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects procurement of complete salon workstations—including styling stations, backwash units, and related fixtures—rather than foot rests as standalone items. State and local education agencies, particularly school districts operating cosmetology and barbering programs, dominate the issuing-body mix. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida has posted activity under this code, seeking to equip instructional salon facilities with multi-station setups that support hands-on student training. Vendors responding to these solicitations must meet qualification thresholds including five years of relevant experience, current vendor registration, applicable licenses, and commercial general liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 general aggregate and $500,000 per occurrence.

The ITQ calls for five back-to-back styling stations, three triple-wall styling stations, two double-wall styling stations, and four backwash units, with pricing required on an Excel template covering per-unit cost, installation labor at an hourly rate, and FOB Destination delivery. Questions close February 17, 2026, at 5:00 PM, with quotes due February 24, 2026, at 5:00 PM, submitted through VendorLink. The contract terminates upon $50,000 in expenditures or receipt of commodities, whichever occurs first, with Net 45 payment terms. Compliance requirements include federal domestic preference certification, debarment and suspension attestation, human trafficking and labor coercion certifications under Florida Statutes, and foreign-ownership certifications covering China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria.
