NIGP 61521: Chair Cushions, All Types

NIGP 61521 Chair Cushions, All Types is an Item code covering cushioned seating components that state and local governments procure primarily for ergonomic comfort in specialized work environments. The code captures purchases of chair cushions and cushioning systems across county emergency services operations and other public-sector administrative and operational facilities where extended seating is required. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments and emergency management agencies procuring replacement and upgrade cushioning for existing seating infrastructure, particularly in high-use settings such as emergency communications centers where personnel spend extended shifts in dispatch and call-handling roles.

Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an IWQ (Invitation for Quote) in August 2026 soliciting E911 chairs—ergonomic seating equipment for emergency communications center personnel—with quotes due August 31, 2026. The procurement required unit pricing and total project costs, with specifications detailed in the associated IWQ 135152 document. The procurement may have included set-aside provisions supporting minority-owned, women-owned, or small business enterprises in accordance with Georgia purchasing policies, with funding drawn from Georgia's budget allocation for E911 emergency communications infrastructure and equipment modernization. This represents current market activity in the southeastern United States, though the recent-opportunities block provides limited geographic depth to characterize broader state or regional concentration.
