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

NIGP 20410 Cabinets And Cases: Desktop Cases, Tower Cases, Drive Cabinets, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure equipment enclosures and mounting systems, often as components within larger technology infrastructure projects rather than as standalone line items. Recent solicitations show that equipment cabinets appear primarily as subsystems embedded in classroom technology installations, data center operations, and IT service deployments—notably in Valencia College District's RFP for classroom and conference room technology that specified equipment cabinets with minimum 18 rack units in height as part of a comprehensive turnkey system. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Jackson Public School District, Tupelo Public School District), community college systems (Valencia College District), local health plans (Inland Empire Health Plan), and transit authorities (Jacksonville Transportation Authority). The work is typically bundled with installation, programming, integration, and ongoing support rather than sold as commodity equipment alone.

Activity is concentrated in Florida and Mississippi, with recent solicitations posted between February and July 2026. Valencia College District's RFP 2026-26, due April 30, 2026, represents the most substantial documented opportunity, seeking turnkey classroom and conference room technology services across nine campus locations with anticipated annual spending of approximately $1.6 million and cabinet specifications as a required component. Jackson Public School District's sealed-bid procurement (Bid 3281) for Information Technology Services Equipment, due July 13, 2026, and Tupelo Public School District's sealed-bid solicitation for Chromebooks and charging carts, due March 5, 2026, indicate parallel equipment-centered procurement activity in Mississippi school systems. The Inland Empire Health Plan's RFP for a Data Abstraction and NLP solution, due May 1, 2026, and Jacksonville Transportation Authority's PMIS software procurement, due November 12, 2024, suggest that cabinets and cases function as ancillary components in broader software and systems integration contracts rather than as primary procurement targets. The code sees low standalone visibility; vendors in this space typically compete as part of larger systems integrations or equipment bundles led by primes managing comprehensive technology deployments.
