NIGP 42579: Shelving, Wood (Not Library or Shop)

NIGP 42579 Shelving, Wood (Not Library or Shop) is an Item code covering wood shelving units that state and local governments procure for warehouse storage and industrial operations. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying standard warehouse shelving systems designed for bulk storage and material handling in distribution facilities rather than retail display or library applications. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city procurement departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Phoenix posted a sealed-offer IFB for warehouse shelving in May 2026, indicating municipal governments are active buyers. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, has also recently issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment that may include storage and shelving components available to thousands of participating governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada, broadening the reach of procurement under related storage categories.

Arizona is the primary recent jurisdiction, with the City of Phoenix's IFB 260251 for warehouse shelving due June 1, 2026 (though an addendum extended the offer date to October 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.). The five-year contract commences August 1, 2026 and covers Maricopa County and Phoenix City jurisdictions. Sourcewell's RFP 061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 submission deadline at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, nominally covers Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) but extends availability nationally through cooperative framework agreements. Both solicitations lack published budget ceilings, award values, or set-aside designations in available materials. Submission is portal-based: the City of Phoenix uses its Procurement Portal (procurement-support@opengov.com for technical issues), while Sourcewell requires vendor registration at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov.
