NIGP 42507: Chairs, Wood

NIGP 42507 Chairs, Wood is an Item code covering wood seating fixtures that state and local governments procure for operational facilities, emergency communications centers, state-supported living centers, and public gathering spaces. Recent solicitations show demand for ergonomic office seating, institutional dining and side chairs with fixed specifications, and high-volume banquet seating for event venues. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county emergency services, regional authority operators, and county parks departments. The code draws activity from both administrative and specialized operational contexts—from routine furniture replacement to large-scale venue outfitting—with quantities ranging from dozens of units for facility use to thousands for commercial event spaces.

Geographic spread concentrates in Georgia and Texas, where recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's E911 communications center chairs (IWQ 135152, quote due August 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of 175 solid wood institutional chairs for Denton State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017524-V2, responses due July 31, 2026), and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's banquet-chair solicitation for 8,000 to 12,000 MTS model 6578-HD-UL units with 12-year warranty (RFQ due August 4, 2026). A secondary opportunity appears in Orange County, California, seeking 20 metal-slat chairs for park infrastructure (IFB 012-3043003-2-LS, due April 22, 2026). Texas contracts typically require firm fixed pricing F.O.B. Destination with freight prepaid, specify delivery windows and penalties, and prohibit product substitution without written approval. Georgia jurisdictions incorporate local-resident preference and encourage minority-business subcontracting plans where applicable.
