NIGP 42521: Desks and Tables, Wood

NIGP 42521 Desks and Tables, Wood (Item) encompasses outdoor and indoor furniture procurement across parks, schools, offices, and specialized facilities. Recent state and local solicitations reveal a mix of concrete product categories: outdoor park seating (metal-slat benches and chairs with powder-coat finishes), indoor cafeteria and classroom tables (including modular or fixed designs), office desks with adjustable or stationary configurations, specialized gaming or recreational tables (checkerboard-patterned concrete units), and storage-integrated furniture such as desk hutches and file cabinets. While the NIGP name specifies wood, actual solicitations prioritize metal-frame and concrete construction alongside wood components; metal slat park furniture dominates recent activity. County government procurement offices issue the majority of visible volume, particularly Orange County and Hillsborough County in Florida, followed by state agencies (California DMV, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Polk County Schools in Florida, Uintah School District in Utah), and municipal parks departments (City of Frisco, Salt Lake City). Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell also route law enforcement equipment procurement through this taxonomy across multiple participating jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities span five states. Sarasota County, Florida solicited ADA-compliant concrete park tables via quick quote on July 15, 2026 (RFQ 2026QQ755); Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested competitive bids on office furniture including L-desks, return desks, and bookcases with July 13, 2026 deadline (IFB HHS0017388); Orange County, California issued multiple park furniture ITBs for benches, chairs, and waste receptacles with April 2026 closing dates; Polk County Schools, Florida sought cafeteria and classroom furniture through April 30, 2026 ITB (040-MJ-0626); Hillsborough County, Florida bid park grills and transit benches in February 2026 (ITB 26-00151) and cat condos in March 2026 (ITB 26-00149) with $325,000–$350,000 estimated values; and California DMV procured modular systems furniture installation and reconfiguration services for Southern California offices with April 2026 closing and $551,445.50 estimated cost (IFB 25-360). Uintah School District in Utah executed a sole-source award to ADP LEMCO INC for cafeteria tables valued at $140,000 in May 2026. Orange County Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) preferences of 5–8% appear across California and Orange County Florida solicitations, with cooperative purchasing provisions allowing subordinate entity utilization in several cases.
