NIGP 44587: Upholstery Tools

NIGP 44587 Upholstery Tools, an Item code, covers vehicle upholstery repair services—including reupholstery labor, materials, and transportation—that state and local governments solicit on an as-needed basis to maintain and restore automotive interior trim for their fleet assets. The scope of work encompasses automotive-grade fabric or vinyl reupholstery matching original specifications, with contractors typically providing labor at hourly rates, materials at percentage markups, and vehicle transportation between government facilities and repair shops. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments and entities participating in cooperative purchasing agreements that extend contract access to other governmental, educational, and non-profit organizations, broadening the potential customer base beyond the primary government buyer.

The County of Sacramento issued a Request for Bid (RFB 2026RFB0013) on July 16, 2026, for vehicle upholstery repair services under the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCOPA), a cooperative purchasing vehicle that allows participating governmental, educational, and non-profit entities to use awarded contracts.
