NIGP 41024: Cubicle Curtains and Privacy Screens

NIGP 41024 Cubicle Curtains and Privacy Screens, an Item code, covers acoustically treated privacy enclosures and related furnishings that state and local governments procure for public facilities. Recent activity under the code shows jurisdictions purchasing large privacy pods — freestanding, ADA-compliant modular units designed for studying, tutoring, testing, video conferencing, and focused individual work in libraries and other public spaces. The scope includes full installation, assembly, testing, and warranty support as part of the procurement. State and local buyers under this code include county public library systems and law enforcement agencies sourcing through cooperative purchasing vehicles; Harris County, Texas appears as an active buyer in the recent solicitations.

Harris County Public Library issued an ITB on May 29, 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for up to 30 large privacy pods across up to 26 library locations under a one-year contract beginning August 1, 2026, requiring sealed bids, performance and bid bonds for contracts exceeding $50,000 and $100,000 respectively, two-year comprehensive warranties, and compliance with federal prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, and HUD Section 3 Act provisions triggered by grant funding from the Texas General Land Office, FEMA, and HUD. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, also posted an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating Washington state counties and other public entities nationwide for law enforcement equipment under cooperative purchasing terms. Texas shows the most recent documented activity under the code; additional geographic spread extends to Washington state and beyond through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative framework.
