NIGP 42030: Furniture, General (Custom Made)

NIGP 42030 Furniture, General (Custom Made) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure site-specific furniture systems, built-in and modular casework, institutional seating, and specialized fixtures for educational facilities, correctional institutions, healthcare settings, fire stations, and administrative offices. Recent solicitations show a mix of large capital projects requiring custom design and fabrication—such as Mt. San Antonio College's 273,000-square-foot Technology & Health Building with custom work tables, reception counters, residential simulation lab beds, and architectural woodwork—alongside institutional bulk purchases like Kwalu replacement furniture for Texas state veterans homes and commercial recliners for county fire rescue operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas General Land Office, Georgia Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice, Kentucky Department of Parks), county governments (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County, Butts County), cities (Phoenix), community colleges (Mt. San Antonio College), universities (Christopher Newport University, University of Wisconsin-Madison), and school districts. Repeat buyers include the Texas Veterans Land Board, which has issued multiple Kwalu furniture IFBs for different facilities, and the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice, which has rebid youth furniture for IYC Warrenville after initial unsuccessful solicitations.

Activity under this code concentrates in California, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Kentucky, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Mt. San Antonio College's RFP for custom FF&E with proposals due September 15, 2026, specifying custom work tables with ADA compliance, reception counters with acrylic panels and solid surface finishes, and architectural woodwork with manufacturer experience requirements and prevailing wage compliance; the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission's RFQ for millwork vendors on a new state prison facility due November 4, 2026, with design, delivery, and installation of modular casework, countertops, and cabinetry across multiple facility types; Butts County School System's RFP for turnkey commercial office furniture due September 30, 2026, evaluated on best overall value rather than price alone; and the Texas General Land Office's multiple IFBs for Kwalu furniture replacement at state veterans homes, with delivery and white-glove installation required within ninety days. Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear in the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog-discount RFP for classroom furniture and supplies (estimated at $21.5 million over two years) and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP. Performance bonds at 100 percent of contract value, prevailing wage compliance, ADA accessibility standards, fire safety certification (ASTM E 84), and manufacturer warranties ranging from one to twelve years are common requirements.
