NIGP 42565: Recycled Office Furniture (File Cabinets, Storage Cabinets and Lockers, Partitions, Modular Furniture, Racks, Shelving)

NIGP 42565 Recycled Office Furniture (File Cabinets, Storage Cabinets and Lockers, Partitions, Modular Furniture, Racks, Shelving) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure office and institutional furniture including storage solutions, workstations, shelving, and classroom seating, often bundled with delivery and installation services. Recent solicitations show demand spanning school districts, county governments, and municipal agencies for both new and refurbished furnishings across administrative, educational, and operational settings. The Pinellas County Schools RFP (25JB076) exemplifies the scope: a comprehensive procurement covering ten furniture categories—classroom, library, administrative, computer/technology, specialized adaptive, early childhood, flexible learning spaces, cafeteria, outdoor, and performing arts furniture—with 1,821 line items offered through a cooperative purchasing vehicle. Similar opportunities include Dougherty County School System's RFQ for commercial-grade office furniture (desks, credenzas, chairs, storage cabinets) and the City of Phoenix's warehouse shelving procurement. Issuing bodies include school districts, county governments, cities, and state agencies; cooperative purchasing organizations such as CoreTrust and Sourcewell frequently serve as lead agencies extending contracts to multiple eligible jurisdictions nationwide. A Texas state agency solicited single-tier lockers under a compressed timeline, and Klein ISD requested classroom and non-classroom furniture, indicating steady demand across educational and governmental sectors.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent postings from Florida (Pinellas County), Georgia (Dougherty County), Texas (state agency and Klein ISD), and Arizona (City of Phoenix), alongside cooperative procurement vehicles that extend nationally. Pinellas County Schools' RFP, due January 5, 2026, represents the largest recent opportunity at approximately $20 million for a nationwide cooperative contract with an initial three-year term and two optional one-year renewals; the procurement requires a three percent administrative fee to CoreTrust and compliance with prevailing wage and insurance requirements. Dougherty County's office furniture RFQ, due June 16, 2026, included a local preference allowing county suppliers to match the lowest responsive bid within two percent or $2,500, whichever is less, with delivery restricted to weekdays and completion targeted between June 29 and July 26, 2026. The City of Phoenix's warehouse shelving IFB extends five years from August 1, 2026, with an extended proposal deadline of October 18, 2022. Vendors across these solicitations must typically provide dedicated project management, warranty coverage, and delivery coordination; cooperative-contract structures consistently permit piggyback purchasing by other eligible state and local governments.
