NIGP 42590: Storage Cabinets, Non-Metal

NIGP 42590 Storage Cabinets, Non-Metal is an Item code under which state and local governments procure storage and filing systems, bookcases, and related furniture for administrative, law enforcement, and educational environments. Recent solicitations show demand for filing systems, storage units, and bookcases integrated into broader furniture procurements for schools, law enforcement agencies, and administrative facilities. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative, is actively aggregating storage and equipment needs across participating entities in Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and beyond, while Northside Independent School District in Texas—the state's fourth-largest school system—solicited storage units alongside administrative and library furniture for 83 elementary schools, 21 middle schools, 13 high schools, and supporting sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Washington state. Northside Independent School District issued IFB 2026-051 for administrative, library, and miscellaneous furniture (including storage units) with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all existing vendors to resubmit proposals to maintain business. Sourcewell posted RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, establishing a cooperative purchasing vehicle to serve law enforcement agencies and public entities across Washington, other states, and Canada; the RFP covers storage and equipment solutions available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and nonprofit organizations through a participating addendum framework. Both opportunities reflect ongoing demand for standardized furniture procurement across educational and public safety sectors with multi-year contract structures and volume flexibility.
