NIGP 26546: Material, Upholstery (Vinyl), Furniture and Auto

NIGP 26546 Material, Upholstery (Vinyl), Furniture And Auto, an Item code, encompasses the supply, repair, and installation of commercial-duty furniture and automotive upholstery services for state and local government facilities and vehicle fleets. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying commercial recliners and upholstered seating for fire stations, bed frames and mattresses for twenty-four-hour public-safety occupancy, vehicle upholstery repair services on an as-needed basis, window coverings for transit authority facilities, and training tables with upholstered chairs for educational institutions. The issuing bodies include county government agencies (fire departments and purchasing departments), transit authorities, and educational institutions. Chatham County, Georgia has emerged as a repeat buyer, posting multiple solicitations for commercial furniture across fire stations within a single procurement cycle.

Recent opportunities span California, Georgia, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ for window covering supply and maintenance with a $35,000 three-year budget and response date of October 13, 2026; Chatham County's ITB for commercial-duty fire station furniture (56 bed frames, 56 mattresses, recliners, and dining furniture) with sealed bids due September 30, 2026, carrying a 30 percent combined MBE/WBE participation goal; the County of Sacramento's RFB for vehicle upholstery repair services on an as-needed basis with a $84,000 maximum value and bid deadline of March 27, 2026, offered through Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCOPA) cooperative purchasing; and Hillsborough County's sole-source intent for DreamSeat recliners at $130,699 over two years. Activity reflects both competitive procurement and proprietary arrangements, with contracts ranging from as-needed service bases without guaranteed minimums to fixed-quantity furniture purchases for specialized public-safety environments.
