NIGP 20410: Cabinets and Cases: Desktop Cases, Tower Cases, Drive Cabinets, etc.

NIGP 20410 Cabinets and Cases: Desktop Cases, Tower Cases, Drive Cabinets, Etc., an Item code, encompasses physical computing infrastructure enclosures and storage hardware that state and local governments procure as part of broader information technology refresh and equipment standardization initiatives. The code captures desktop and tower server cases, drive cabinets, network switch enclosures, and related peripheral storage equipment bundled within larger technology equipment solicitations. Recent activity shows county IT departments and school districts sourcing these items as components of annual hardware contracts or one-time network infrastructure purchases rather than as standalone commodity buys; the enclosures appear alongside servers, network switches, drives, and related gear quoted as integrated packages to support datacenter operations and field deployments.

County information technology offices and municipal procurement departments drive the bulk of recent solicitation activity under this code. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted a multi-year file server and peripheral equipment contract in October 2026 (ITB due October 29, 2026) requiring HP ProLiant server cases and accompanying storage peripherals under an annual agreement with renewal options through 2031; Chatham County Sheriff's Office issued a hardware-only RFQ in September 2026 (due October 20, 2026) for network switch enclosures and Cisco equipment for field deployment. The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department solicited laptop cases as a small order purchase in September 2026 (due September 21, 2026) with estimated annual value under $99,000. Jackson Public School District posted an information technology equipment bid in July 2026 but did not disclose itemized scope. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Pennsylvania, with secondary activity in Mississippi. Pricing models in these opportunities emphasize percentage discounts off state contracts or firm fixed pricing, with vendors typically required to maintain manufacturer partnerships, provide configuration support, and guarantee supply chain authentication for factory-sealed equipment.
