NIGP 85049: Furniture Covers and Scarves

NIGP 85049 Furniture Covers and Scarves, an Item code, encompasses protective and decorative textiles that state and local governments procure for office, institutional, and public-facility settings—including chair covers, sofa protectors, furniture scarves, and related upholstery accessories. The scope spans both functional protective gear (used to extend furniture life in high-traffic or public spaces) and decorative textile treatments applied to furnishings in administrative, educational, and service environments. Issuing bodies under this code include state departments, counties, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose facilities; procurement typically flows through facilities management, procurement offices, or dedicated custodial and maintenance departments within larger jurisdictions.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 85049 Furniture Covers and Scarves. This Item code shows no posted solicitation activity in the available records, suggesting either low current demand, informal purchasing patterns (spot buys or standing orders through cooperative contracts), or fulfillment through broader furniture or facilities-maintenance RFPs that do not isolate this commodity line. Business development activity under this code warrants monitoring for seasonal or infrastructure-driven procurement cycles, particularly around school-year preparation, facility renovations, or institutional refresh initiatives where furniture protection becomes a line item.
