NIGP 42511: Counter, Work

NIGP 42511 Counter, Work is an Item code covering the design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of built-in and modular countertops, cabinetry, and casework for state and local facilities. State and local governments procure under this code when outfitting new or renovated buildings across correctional facilities, administrative offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and support spaces, typically requiring compliance with accessibility standards, material durability specifications, and phased installation schedules. Issuing bodies include state departments (correctional, financing and investment commissions), counties, cities, school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The scope spans solid surface and laminate countertops, HPL cabinetry, phenolic materials for secure or inmate-occupied areas, marine-grade finishes for wet environments, and metal casework, with vendors responsible for design integration, material sourcing, fabrication, delivery coordination, and on-site installation.

Recent activity shows Georgia and Washington state driving current solicitation volume. The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission, on behalf of the Georgia Department of Corrections, issued RFQ PE40900RFQC2027000000252 on October 7, 2026 (due November 4, 2026) to pre-qualify millwork vendors for a complete modular and built-in casework package spanning administration, housing, education, medical, maintenance, and support facilities at a new prison in Davisboro, Georgia; qualified vendors will advance to formal bidding in March 2027 with installation running June 2027 through February 2028. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) to establish a statewide or multi-state contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities across Washington, other U.S. states, and Canada; this cooperative vehicle expands reach beyond traditional county and city buyers to include school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. Georgia's reciprocal preference law and encouragement for minority-owned, woman-owned, and small business participation characterize the Georgia opportunity; the Sourcewell RFP signals growing use of cooperative frameworks to standardize and scale millwork and equipment procurement across fragmented local-government buyer bases.
