NIGP 41033: Furniture, Health Care (Custom Made)

NIGP 41033 Furniture, Health Care (Custom Made), an Item code, encompasses custom and semi-custom institutional furniture and furnishings procured by state and local health care facilities, veterans homes, and related health care operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying Kwalu-brand institutional seating and case goods (sofas, lounge chairs, motion chairs, dining chairs, end tables, dressers, wardrobes, bookcases, media cabinets, and bedside units) in specified finishes and upholstery for common areas and resident rooms at state veterans homes, along with specialty recliners for fire rescue stations and general institutional furniture for county and school facilities. Procurement typically includes white-glove installation—unpacking, assembly, placement, and off-site removal of packing materials—with delivery windows of 60 to 90 calendar days and performance during regular business hours. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience providing similar services or show five years of ownership or executive management experience in comparable businesses. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Texas General Land Office administering multiple veterans homes, Washington State Department of Transportation, Hillsborough County in Florida) and county governments (San Mateo County, Galveston County in Texas), though one school district (Klein ISD in Texas) also appears in the dataset. Texas dominates recent activity, with five separate Kwalu furniture replacement solicitations across state veterans facilities in Temple, Amarillo, Floresville, Bonham, and Tyler posted between June and August 2026.
