NIGP 42594: Work Stations, Modular, Systems Furniture

NIGP 42594 Work Stations, Modular, Systems Furniture is an Item code reflecting the equipment and installation services state and local governments are currently purchasing—modular office workstations, cubicle systems, and associated design, delivery, and relocation labor across a wide range of facility types. Recent solicitations show state departments, counties, cities, school districts, and universities buying modular furniture for office consolidations, new construction, relocation projects, and facility upgrades. The Texas General Land Office procured mandated Steelcase modular workspaces for the Stephen F. Austin Building (RFP 8399-SJ, due August 12, 2026); Klein ISD requested electronic proposals for classroom and non-classroom furniture; the University of Houston solicited bids for furniture at the UHD Gator Expansion Phase 3 (ITB-730-UofH-3140, due July 21, 2026) and the Texas Medical Center (ITB-730-UofH-3100, due March 16, 2026); and the University of Texas at Dallas sought proposals for nine furniture packages including modular workstations for the new Student Union/Student Success Center (due April 3, 2026). Work extends beyond product procurement to installation and relocation—the City of Houston Airport System bid cubicle installation and reconfiguration services (due June 15, 2026), the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation solicited office moving and modular furniture installation across six regions under prevailing wage (due June 1, 2026), and Georgia's vocational rehabilitation agency sought cubicle relocation and reinstallation services (due February 13, 2026). Counties and special districts are equally active: Rockdale County, Georgia procured furniture, delivery, and installation for a new courthouse and administrative complex with a $2 million to $2.1 million budget (due April 9, 2026), and Habersham County sought office furniture for an animal shelter facility (due April 29, 2026).

Geographic activity spans Texas, California, Georgia, Utah, and other states, with Texas and California showing the heaviest recent concentration. Pinellas County Schools in Florida issued a five-year, approximately $20 million cooperative furniture procurement for use nationwide (due January 5, 2026). The City of Charlotte, North Carolina, acting as lead for OMNIA Partners, is procuring a national cooperative agreement for furniture and installation services with estimated annual volume of $500 million across participating public agencies (due April 3, 2026). Activity also appears in education-focused procurements—Mt. San Antonio College sought FFE coordination consultant services (due October 3, 2025) and Technology and Health Building furniture with 50 percent domestic sourcing requirement (due August 15, 2025). Repeat activity from universities suggests sustained demand for new-facility and renovation-driven purchases; modular cubicle relocation and installation remain steady line items for agencies consolidating or moving operations. Set-asides vary by issuer; Texas entities mandate HUB subcontracting plans, California requires DVBE participation, and Georgia encourages MBE/FBE/SBE participation.
