NIGP 09541: Beauty Shop Stools

NIGP 09541 Beauty Shop Stools, an Item code, encompasses salon equipment and furnishings that state and local governments procure for educational cosmetology and barbering programs, beauty services, and related vocational training facilities. In practice, the code covers not only stools but a broader category of salon station equipment — styling stations, backwash units, sinks, mirrors, and associated fixtures — that educational institutions and government service facilities install to support hands-on training and service delivery. Hillsborough County Public Schools represents the primary recent issuing body, soliciting comprehensive salon station packages including multiple styling stations of varying configurations, backwash equipment, and installation services for a secondary school cosmetology program. The procurement typically requires vendors to demonstrate relevant experience in salon equipment supply and installation, maintain appropriate licensing and insurance, and comply with federal funding rules when applicable.

Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted an Invitation to Quote (ITQ 26007ITQEST) on October 19, 2026, with a response deadline of February 24, 2026, for salon stations and sinks to be installed at Plant City High School; the solicitation calls for five educational back-to-back styling stations, three educational triple-wall styling stations, two educational double-wall styling stations, and four Aron II backwash units, with vendors submitting pricing per unit plus installation labor and delivery on an Excel template. The contract carries a $50,000 expenditure threshold and requires vendors to demonstrate five years of experience, current vendor registration, applicable licenses, and commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 general aggregate and $500,000 per occurrence. The ITQ incorporates federal funding compliance under 2 CFR Part 200, domestic preference for U.S.-produced goods, debarment certifications, and state-level human trafficking and foreign ownership compliance affidavits under Florida Statutes. HCPS actively encourages Small Business Enterprise registration through its Office of Supplier Development and affirmatively solicits small, minority, and women's business enterprises for participation.
