NIGP 42086: Schoolroom Furniture; Plastic, Polypropylene, Fiberglass Type: Cabinets, Chairs, Desks, etc. (incl. Stacking Types)

NIGP 42086 Schoolroom Furniture; Plastic, Polypropylene, Fiberglass Type: Cabinets, Chairs, Desks, Etc. (Incl. Stacking Types) is an Item code that covers classroom and school-facility seating, storage, and work surfaces—typically plastic, polypropylene, or fiberglass chairs; stacking and mobile units; student and teacher desks; shelving; and cabinets. State and local government buyers use this code to outfit classroom learning environments, music rooms, labs, offices, and common areas within schools. Recent solicitations show districts procuring Montessori classroom supplies with manipulatives and task cards; music media shelving and storage racks; library shelving systems; agriculture-lab furnishings; residential and classroom furniture packages for school expansion projects; and warehouse stock classroom and office furniture. Issuing bodies include school districts of varying sizes—from the nation's seventh-largest district in Florida to smaller county systems in Georgia and independent academic institutions—along with state facilities commissions, county fire rescue departments, and cooperative purchasing agencies serving regional school systems.

School districts in Florida, Georgia, and Texas represent the heaviest recent activity. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an Invitation to Quote in October 2026 for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies including geography materials, mathematics manipulatives, and nomenclature cards, with pricing firm for one year and up to four renewal periods. Jackson County School System posted two RFPs (August and October 2026) for furniture procurement services across three schools, with mandatory pre-bid meetings. Columbia County School District solicited bids separately for music media shelving at two high schools and library shelving at Harlem High School in September 2026, both specifying manufacturers (Wenger, Russwood, Smith Systems) with "or equal" alternatives permitted. Greene County School District used cooperative purchasing through TIPS to furnish an agriculture classroom lab for $50,255.63, completed by end of September 2026. The Texas Facilities Commission requested proposals in August 2026 for furniture and fixtures at the Texas School for the Deaf, requiring a mandatory subcontracting plan with VetHUB vendor outreach. Cooperative purchasing agencies including Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) and Cooperative Purchasing Agency (Georgia) solicited classroom furniture catalog-discount bids covering estimated annual volumes of 2 to 150 units per item. Response dates span September through November 2026, with most school-district awards tied to facility-opening or academic-calendar deadlines.
