NIGP 34063: Lockers, Turnout Gear

NIGP 34063 Lockers, Turnout Gear is an Item code under which state and local governments procure commercial-duty lockers and related storage furniture for public-safety facilities, school districts, and institutional campuses. Recent solicitations show school districts and county fire departments buying steel lockers and fire-station furnishings — beds, mattresses, nightstands, recliners, dining and office furniture, and lamps — designed for continuous high-occupancy institutional use. The code captures both standalone locker procurement (as in catalog-discount contracts) and integrated furniture packages where lockers anchor broader fire-station furnishings programs. Issuing bodies include school districts, county fire departments, and county purchasing offices; Gwinnett County Public Schools and Chatham County Fire Department have posted multiple solicitations in the past two months.

Chatham County, Georgia and the greater Atlanta region show the strongest recent activity. Gwinnett County Public Schools issued a catalog-discount ITB for lockers with bids due October 28, 2026 (Solicitation PE77021NONST2027000000222). Chatham County Fire Department posted two related bids for commercial-duty fire-station furniture including 72 commercial steel personal wardrobe lockers, with sealed bids due September 30, 2026 under ITB 26-0102-6 and October 14, 2026 under a separate IFB (Solicitation 2601026); both solicitations require new, unused current-production items suitable for twenty-four-hour public-safety occupancy and full-service delivery including freight, inside delivery, hardware, and warranty. Chatham County's ITB 26-0102-6 imposes a 30 percent combined MBE/WBE participation goal with documented good-faith subcontracting efforts and mandates $1,000,000 general liability and $500,000 workers'-compensation insurance. Hillsborough County Public Schools' fire protection RFP (26349-RFP-MST) demonstrates parallel institutional demand for integrated facility services spanning fire-suppression systems, though the primary scope differs from the locker and furnishings focus above.
