NIGP 425: Furniture: Office

NIGP 425 Furniture: Office, a Class code, encompasses office desks, chairs, conference tables, filing systems, shelving, and modular workspaces that state and local governments procure for administrative operations, educational facilities, and public-facing spaces. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, cities, universities, and transit authorities buying standardized office furniture on both one-time and standing-contract bases, with a mix of brand-specific and open-market competitions. The code captures everything from high-volume catalog discounts for district-wide procurements to custom installation projects and cooperative purchasing agreements serving multiple jurisdictions nationwide.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Northside ISD in Bexar County, Donna ISD in Cameron County, Klein ISD), counties (Hillsborough County in Florida, Bernalillo County in New Mexico, Santa Clara County in California), cities (Charlotte, North Carolina; Santa Monica, California; Salem, Oregon), state agencies (Texas General Land Office, Utah Division of Technology Services), universities (University of Houston, University of Texas at Dallas, Mt. San Antonio College, Utah Tech University), and specialized authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Superior Court of California County of Los Angeles). Repeat activity clusters around Texas school districts and Florida county governments. Recent opportunities span competitive RFPs and RFQs for facility buildouts, informal RFBs for commodity purchases, and cooperative purchasing agreements. The Texas General Land Office issued RFP 8399-SJ on July 13, 2026 (due August 12) for office furnishings at the Stephen F. Austin Building requiring Steelcase products with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting and a pre-proposal conference on July 21. Northside ISD posted IFB 2026-051 on March 17 (due April 8) for administrative, library, and miscellaneous furniture across 83 schools, 21 middle schools, and 13 high schools in San Antonio, replacing an expiring contract. Mt. San Antonio College's RFP for the new Technology and Health Building (due August 15, 2025, with a December 2025 contract start) requires at least 50 percent domestic manufacturing and spans classrooms, faculty offices, laboratories, and student areas across a 273,000-square-foot facility. Donna ISD issued an RFP for 2026-2027 office supplies and furniture catalog discounts (due April 8) on a multi-vendor, as-needed basis. Activity concentrates in Texas (school districts and transit authorities), Florida (county parks and facilities), California (community colleges and court systems), Massachusetts (State Police Academy), and the Upper Midwest (Wisconsin and Utah public entities). The code shows sustained procurement momentum across K-12 education, higher education capital projects, county government modernization, and transit authority infrastructure, with contract values ranging from under $20,000 for targeted replacements to over $500 million when cooperative agreements serve nationwide participating agencies.
