NIGP 09538: Beauty Shop Mirrors

NIGP 09538 Beauty Shop Mirrors, an Item code, covers salon equipment and mirrors that state and local governments—primarily school districts—procure for vocational and cosmetology training programs. The work encompasses styling stations, backwash units, mirrors, and related salon furnishings, often bundled with delivery and installation services. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, soliciting equipment for high school cosmetology labs and beauty programs where students receive hands-on instruction. Solicitations typically require vendors to demonstrate experience in salon equipment provision, maintain commercial general liability insurance, and comply with prevailing-wage and federal procurement standards when federal funding is involved. Many notices encourage small and minority business participation through set-aside considerations or affirmative solicitation of SBE, MBE, and WBE vendors.

Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida and Donna Independent School District in Texas represent current activity in the code. Hillsborough County issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ 26007ITQEST) on April 13, 2026, for delivery and installation of educational styling stations and backwash units at Plant City High School, with responses due February 24, 2026, and a contract value threshold of $50,000. Donna ISD posted a Request for Proposals (RFP 011326894) on March 21, 2026, seeking catalog-discount bids on cosmetology supplies and equipment—brushes, manikins, curling irons, shear kits, nail colors, and similar training materials—for the 2026-2027 school year, with responses due April 8, 2026, and plans to award multiple vendors. Both solicitations reflect school-district investment in career and technical education infrastructure and consumables, with modest project values and multi-year contract terms where applicable.
