NIGP 96290: Upholstering Services (see Class 928 for Vehicle)

NIGP 96290 Upholstering Services (Item) is not aligned with the state and local procurement activity currently tracked under this code. The sole recent solicitation in the available records is the City of DeBary, Florida's competitive bid (Solicitation 0315, due April 10, 2015) for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements — a construction project involving installation of a Hunter irrigation controller, master valve, flow meter, piping, and related components with an Engineer's estimated cost of $90,000. This irrigation system upgrade bears no relationship to upholstering work and reflects either a data classification error or significant code drift in how state and local procurement systems are currently indexing this NIGP Item.

No representative upholstering services solicitations appear in recent state and local procurement records under this code. The single available opportunity is an irrigation infrastructure project, which falls outside the scope of upholstering work. Without recent, properly classified upholstering services solicitations, no geographic concentration, issuing-body mix, or market signal can be drawn. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify current NIGP coding practices in their target jurisdictions, as the taxonomy-to-actual-procurement alignment appears unreliable at present.
