NIGP 42008: Cafeteria Furniture, Chairs and Tables (incl. Stacking Types)

NIGP 42008 Cafeteria Furniture, Chairs And Tables (Incl. Stacking Types), an Item code, encompasses the procurement of dining furniture—cafeteria tables, chairs, banquet seating, and related stacking components—for school districts, county and state facilities, universities, and special-purpose districts. Recent state and local solicitations show school districts as the dominant buyer, with secondary activity from county parks and recreation departments, state capitols, and higher-education institutions acquiring both standard cafeteria seating and specialized furniture for renovation or expansion projects.

School districts across Georgia, Michigan, Texas, and Massachusetts dominate recent activity, soliciting as-needed supply agreements for classroom and cafeteria seating as well as project-specific replacements and remodels. Cobb County School District (Georgia) posted an RFP on October 14, 2026 (due November 11, 2026) for purchase, delivery, and installation of classroom and administrative furniture across multiple school buildings with an estimated contract value of $2.5 million. Grand Blanc Community School District (Michigan) issued an IFB on October 14, 2026 (due October 27, 2026) for district cafeteria tables with sealed bids at the district office. Harlandale Independent School District (Texas) sought proposals in May 2026 for cafeteria visual upgrades, chairs, and tables at two high schools with a mandatory pre-bid conference and an August 7, 2026 completion deadline. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency, a Georgia-based warehouse serving 35 school systems, bid warehouse stock furniture and supplies in August 2026 with annual quantities ranging from 2 to 150 units per item. Beyond schools, the State of Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration issued a Documented Quote in May 2026 for 167 units of cafeteria furniture for the State Capitol with a $250,000 budget ceiling, and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority solicited 8,000 to 12,000 banquet chairs in July 2026 with 60 percent weight on technical merit and 40 percent on cost.
