NIGP 56053: Pallet Storage Racks

NIGP 56053 Pallet Storage Racks, an Item code, covers selective pallet rack systems and warehouse shelving products that state and local governments procure to support inventory storage, materials handling, and warehouse operations across their facilities. Recent solicitations focus on selective pallet rack systems with specified structural components, safety features, and load-capacity configurations, as well as general warehouse shelving meeting agency-defined specifications. State and local governments issue these procurements through sealed-bid (IFB) and sealed-offer mechanisms, with contracts typically structured as blanket purchase agreements or multi-year term agreements enabling decentralized ordering by individual agencies or departments based on operational needs. Issuing bodies include state purchasing offices, city procurement departments, and county jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans Texas and Arizona. The State of Texas posted IFB-IW261990 on August 7, 2026, requesting sealed bids for selective pallet rack systems with a response deadline of August 14, 2026, establishing a blanket purchase agreement with decentralized funding by participating state agencies. The City of Phoenix issued IFB260251 on May 12, 2026 (extended to October 18, 2026), soliciting warehouse shelving for a five-year contract covering Maricopa County and Phoenix City jurisdictions, with contract commencement on or about August 1, 2026. Neither solicitation indicates set-asides, preference programs, or incumbent preferences.
