NIGP 41591: Tables, Laboratory Type

NIGP 41591 Tables, Laboratory Type is an Item code under which state and local governments procure laboratory and specialized work tables for educational, archival, and scientific use. Recent solicitations show purchasing entities acquiring adjustable-height lab tables with integrated power, laminate work surfaces, and metal frames sized for institutional use—often with specifications tied to specific facility constraints such as doorway dimensions or elevator capacity. The issuing bodies span educational cooperatives, state archival agencies, and regional purchasing consortia, reflecting demand across K-12 districts, higher education, and state special collections.

Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued the highest-value recent opportunity—an RFP for Classroom Furniture & Supplies (CLSF2628) with estimated two-year expenditures of $21,568,516.00 and a response deadline of May 26, 2026, structured as a catalog discount bid with a two-year contract term running through June 18, 2028. The Illinois Secretary of State issued an RFQ on January 29, 2026 for two conservation lab tables for the Illinois State Archives, specifying manual crank adjustment from 30 to 50 inches, 48-by-96-inch laminate countertops with integrated power outlets, and FOB delivery to Springfield by June 30, 2026. Sourcewell, acting on behalf of multiple Washington counties and broader participating entities, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, though this opportunity focuses on broader equipment rather than tables specifically. Recent activity clusters in Texas and the upper Midwest, with activity in Illinois and Washington state also present.
