NIGP 42513: Credenza Unit, Metal

NIGP 42513 Metal Credenza Unit, an Item code, describes metal storage and filing furniture that state and local governments procure as components of office equipment and workspace outfitting. The scope of work spans metal credenzas, lateral filing units, and similar metal storage cabinetry used in administrative offices, police stations, courthouses, and other public facilities. Issuing bodies across the state and local sector—counties, municipalities, school districts, transit authorities, and state departments—solicit these items both as direct purchases and as components within larger law enforcement or facilities equipment RFPs. Metal credenzas typically enter procurement alongside desks, filing systems, and general office furnishings, and are often sourced through cooperative purchasing vehicles that consolidate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

The recent opportunity landscape for this code shows limited direct visibility. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on behalf of its Participating Entities on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to jurisdictions including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, along with numerous other public entities nationwide. Metal credenzas and storage cabinetry may appear as line items within such law enforcement or general office equipment contracts, but they are rarely the primary focus of standalone solicitations at the state and local level. Most procurement activity under this code flows through cooperative purchasing frameworks, shared-services agreements, or as part of broader facilities and furnishings RFPs rather than as dedicated commodity solicitations.
