NIGP 42018: Dormitory Furniture, Plastic: Wardrobes, Beds, Bunkbeds, Desks, etc.

NIGP 42018 Dormitory Furniture, Plastic: Wardrobes, Beds, Bunkbeds, Desks, Etc., an Item code, covers specialized seating and furnishings for institutional settings, with recent activity showing demand for purpose-built recliners and equipment tailored to operational staff rest and safety requirements. State and local governments procure under this code for fire rescue stations, law enforcement facilities, and similar emergency-services environments where ergonomic seating and durable institutional furniture support occupant safety and fatigue management. Issuing bodies include county fire rescue departments and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts across multiple states.

Recent opportunities illustrate the practical scope. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue issued a sole-source procurement notice (SS2600284, due June 8, 2026) for an estimated $130,699 two-year supply of DreamSeat reclining chairs for fire stations, following validated 2023 trials. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and beyond, establishing a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities nationwide. Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, though the Sourcewell procurement extends the geographic reach across the United States and Canada through its multi-jurisdictional cooperative structure.
