NIGP 42548: Furniture, Office (Custom Made)

NIGP 42548 Furniture, Office (Custom Made) is an Item code covering the procurement of bespoke and semi-custom office furnishings for administrative, educational, and operational spaces within state and local government entities. State and local buyers under this code acquire custom or configured-to-spec seating, desks, workstations, conference tables, modular systems, and related office furniture tailored to specific departmental or facility requirements, often with design services, delivery, and installation included. Recent solicitations show a mix of one-off custom builds for specialized spaces (such as a fire station recliner standardization, a city hall renovation, or a university welcome center) alongside larger term contracts and cooperative purchasing frameworks that bundle furniture with design consultation and nationwide vendor access for participating agencies.

Issuing bodies span state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, colleges and universities, and special-purpose authorities across the country. The mix includes state departments (Texas General Land Office, California CDCR, Utah DOT, Office of the Governor), county government (Galveston County in Texas, Dougherty County in Georgia, Marion County in Florida), municipal entities (City of Philadelphia, City of Dallas, City of Cartersville, City of Charlotte), independent school districts and community college systems (Klein ISD, Pinellas County Schools, Christopher Newport University, Mt. San Antonio College, Collin County Community College), and water authorities (Cherokee County Water and Sewerage Authority). Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear frequently, with OMNIA Partners, CoreTrust Public Sector, Sourcewell, and SCoPA pooling demand across multiple jurisdictions to establish framework agreements. Recent activity clusters in Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and Utah, with additional scattered opportunities in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Washington state. Texas General Land Office issued RFP 8399-SJ for furnished suites in the Stephen F. Austin Building in Austin with responses due August 12, 2026, requiring mandatory Steelcase products and five years of office furnishings experience.
