NIGP 97742: Furniture, Office, Rental or Lease

NIGP 97742 Furniture, Office, Rental Or Lease is an Item code under which state and local governments procure short-term furnishings for temporary and event-driven needs, ranging from institutional seating to polling-place tables and chairs to office-relocation logistics. Recent solicitations show demand for specialized institutional furniture (lift chairs with high weight capacity), event-support rentals (banquet tables and seating for elections), and full-service moving operations that bundle labor, equipment, and materials for office and residential relocations across county systems. Issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices (city of Houston), county boards and elections departments (Cuyahoga County), and county general services (Sacramento County). Moving-services RFPs are frequently issued through cooperative purchasing consortia to extend vendor access across multiple participating governmental, educational, and nonprofit entities.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Ohio, and California based on recent postings.
