NIGP 42092: Showcase, Trophy Cases and Exhibit Cases

NIGP 42092 Showcase, Trophy Cases And Exhibit Cases is an Item code covering museum-quality and archival display cases that state and local governments procure for historical artifact preservation, courthouse heritage collections, and institutional exhibit spaces. State and local buyers under this code include county governments, state historic preservation offices, state agencies, and corrections departments. The work encompasses design, fabrication, and installation of specialized display infrastructure meeting archival standards—UV-filtering vitrine construction, acid-free materials, climate-control compatibility, and security features such as lockable frames or tamper-resistant fasteners. Cases range from single freestanding units for specific artifacts to integrated casework packages spanning multiple facility types and functions.

Recent activity shows county and state procurement offices in Georgia and Illinois, along with cooperative purchasing frameworks, driving current demand. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an Informal Written Quote on October 15, 2026 for one archival-quality clock exhibit case (response due October 22, 2026) requiring UV-filtering acrylic, acid-free linen board, and natural wood veneer meeting minimum interior dimensions of 64 inches height by 55 inches width by 32 inches depth, with mock-up approval required prior to award. The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission, on behalf of the Georgia Department of Corrections, posted a Statements of Qualifications RFQ on October 7, 2026 for a complete millwork package on a new state prison facility in Davisboro (SOQs due November 4, 2026), spanning integrated modular casework and built-in cabinetry across multiple facility types with material requirements including solid surface countertops, HPL plastic laminate, phenolic for inmate areas, and ADA-compliant construction. The Illinois Secretary of State issued an RFQ on May 7, 2026 for three museum-quality exhibit case tables (response due May 12, 2026). Georgia's reciprocal preference law applies to the corrections millwork procurement; the Illinois and Gwinnett solicitations carry no identified set-asides or preference designations.
