NIGP 56575: Tufts, Button, Mattress

NIGP 56575 Tufts, Button, Mattress is an Item code tracking state and local procurement of mattress components and assemblies, including non-woven mattress cores, foam inserts, and fabric coverings used in correctional facilities, residential institutions, and other public buildings. The Illinois Department of Corrections recently solicited 1,824 units of non-woven polyester mattress cores (76" x 30" x 6", 10.0 ounces per square yard density) for Graham Correctional Center via Basic Ordering Agreement, with a response deadline of April 28, 2026 and a contract value under $50,000. Vendors must submit samples within five business days, maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, and quote unit prices F.O.B. destination with all freight and handling included. Delivery is required within 15 days of purchase order receipt, and all supplies must remain free from defects for twelve months following delivery.

Recent activity under this code centers on correctional and institutional procurement in Illinois. The geographic and issuing-body concentration remains limited to the single Illinois Department of Corrections opportunity posted in April 2026, with no indication of repeat or multi-state buying patterns in the available solicitation record. State and local buyers in this code typically issue short-term or standing-order BOAs and ITBs, with response windows of one to two weeks and delivery timelines measured in days rather than weeks. The code sees occasional activity from departments of corrections and state-operated residential facilities, but the frequency and volume of recent solicitations do not indicate a high-activity procurement area at this time.
