NIGP 42030: Furniture, General (Custom Made)

NIGP 42030 Furniture, General (Custom Made), an Item code, covers custom and specialty furniture that state and local governments procure for parks, recreational facilities, veterans' homes, detention centers, schools, and municipal buildings. Recent solicitations show a diverse mix of end uses: Old Hickory rustic furniture for state parks in Kentucky, Kwalu institutional furniture for Texas veterans' homes, Pineapple brand youth furniture for Illinois juvenile detention, outdoor metal and dining sets for universities, and fire station recliners for county emergency services. The code encompasses both branded or custom-made pieces and catalog-discount arrangements serving multiple agencies simultaneously.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Kentucky Parks, Texas General Land Office, Illinois Juvenile Justice), county governments (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Marion County Schools), cities (Phoenix, Cartersville), universities (Christopher Newport University, Mt. San Antonio College, Collin County Community College, University of Wisconsin-Madison), and school districts. Kentucky appears as a repeat buyer with multiple state-park furniture contracts. The solicitation mix includes sealed bids (IFB, RFB), RFPs, and small purchases; notice types vary by jurisdiction. Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board have posted multiple Kwalu furniture replacements across state veterans' homes, each involving 37–941 pieces with white-glove delivery and installation within 90 days. Kentucky Department of Parks has issued concurrent RFBs for Old Hickory furniture with set-asides for Kentucky Correctional Industries and Kentucky Industries for the Blind, plus reciprocal preference for Kentucky resident bidders. Recent activity clusters in Kentucky, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and California, with smaller procurements scattered across other states. Response dates in the pipeline range from immediate (Illinois emergency procurements with same-day or next-day deadlines) to mid-August 2026 for larger institutional replacements. This code remains active and decision-relevant for vendors positioned to handle both brand-specific institutional furniture and delivery-plus-installation scopes in the $30,000–$21.5 million range depending on facility size and complexity.
