NIGP 96742: Furniture and Furnishings Manufacturing and Production Services

NIGP 96742 Furniture and Furnishings Manufacturing and Production Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure custom and commercial-grade furniture packages for institutional facilities—typically seating, storage, and workspace furnishings specified to match building projects or operational requirements. Recent solicitations show state agencies and county governments buying task and guest seating, modular sofas, classroom furniture, recliners, and associated installation and delivery services, with pricing anchored to F.O.B. destination and unit costs that remain valid across multi-year contract terms.

The Texas Facilities Commission and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have driven recent activity. The Texas School for the Deaf issued an RFP (solicitation 0010514, due September 10, 2026) for a five-bid-package furniture and fixture suite totaling 275 units across residential, classroom, and security spaces, requiring unit pricing, payment and performance bonds, commercial general liability coverage of $500,000 per occurrence, and a mandatory subcontracting plan with good-faith outreach to Texas VetHUB-certified vendors. Hillsborough County issued a competitive ITB (ITB-26-00331, due July 31, 2026) for 100 commercial-grade recliners estimated at $130,999, specifying the Home Theater DreamSeat Recliner or equivalent, federal flammability compliance, delivery to Tampa within 30 days, and availability to 20 members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same contract terms. The county also published a sole-source notice (SS-26-00284, challenge deadline June 8, 2026) for DreamSeat recliners for Fire Rescue stations, estimated at $130,699 for two years and reflecting a 32.815 percent unit-price discount from DREAMSEATS LLC. Activity centers in Texas and Florida; the District of Columbia also appears in the recent pipeline, though substantive details are not available.
