NIGP 80379: Sound Proof Booths or Chambers (Anechoic)

NIGP 80379 Sound Proof Booths Or Chambers (Anechoic), an Item code, encompasses the design, procurement, installation, and maintenance of acoustically treated, soundproofed spaces for institutional and public-sector use. State and local governments buy soundproofing solutions for law enforcement facilities, public libraries, educational institutions, and civic buildings to create controlled acoustic environments for detention center arraignment rooms, study and focus pods, and classroom conference spaces. The work spans full-system design and engineering through turnkey installation with warranty and ongoing maintenance support, often bundled with related technology integration or architectural modifications.

Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Detroit), county governments (Harris County, Texas), and educational institutions (Valencia College District, Florida), with recent solicitations ranging from specialized law enforcement applications to public library furnishings and institutional classroom infrastructure. Detroit's Office of Contracting and Procurement issued RFP 547745 on June 25, 2026, seeking soundproofing solutions for seven arraignment rooms at the Detroit Detention Center with proposals due July 27, 2026 and a pre-proposal conference on July 8, 2026; the scope includes design, procurement, installation, and three-year professional services with potential renewal. Harris County, Texas posted ITB 260153 on May 29, 2026, for up to 30 acoustically treated, ADA-compliant privacy pods across up to 26 library locations, with sealed bids due June 15, 2026 and a contract term of one year beginning approximately August 1, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Michigan, and Florida, with procurement officers emphasizing federal compliance (Davis-Bacon, Section 3 Act, Uniform Administrative Requirements where grant funding applies), local vendor preferences, and minimum wage policies where applicable.
