NIGP 01011: Adhesives and Cements, Acoustical Tile

NIGP 01011 Adhesives and Cements, Acoustical Tile, an Item code, covers removal, replacement, and installation of acoustical ceiling tiles in public facilities, a discrete construction material and labor scope that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance and renovation projects. The scope of work encompasses supply and installation of Class A fire-rated acoustical tiles in various configurations (square-edge, beveled-edge, and mixed sizes), removal of existing tiles, and installation around existing mechanical and electrical systems including fire sprinklers, smoke detectors, surveillance cameras, and HVAC diffusers. Issuing bodies include county departments of public works, county facilities management, and municipal procurement offices undertaking facility repairs and interior construction.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Midwest and Southeast. Walworth County, Wisconsin (Department of Public Works) posted an IFB in June 2026 for removal and replacement of acoustical ceiling tiles throughout the Sheriff's Office and Jail Facility in Elkhorn, with a $325,000 project budget, sealed bids due June 29, 2026, and a pre-bid site tour scheduled for June 12; the scope required Class A fire-rated tiles per ASTM E84, contractor experience of at least seven years in commercial ceiling installation, and work completion targeted for January 29, 2027. Rockdale County, Georgia issued an RFP in March 2026 for an on-call unit price contract including framing, drywall, and acoustical ceiling work for small commercial interior projects with most work orders anticipated under $15,000 and proposals due April 16, 2026; the County applies a Local Vendor Preference Policy awarding an extra 5 points in evaluation scoring to local bidders. Beyond these two direct opportunities, the source contains notices of office relocation and cooperative purchasing initiatives for law enforcement and construction services that do not directly solicit acoustical tile work.
