NIGP 13557: Tile, Field Stone (incl. Borders and Medallions)

NIGP 13557 Tile, Field Stone (Including Borders and Medallions) is an Item code describing dimensional stone and aggregate materials that state and local governments procure for construction, infrastructure, and public works projects. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers acquiring bulk stone classifications—including #3, #34, and #5 stone; screening materials; crushed stone base; surge stone graded mix; rip-rap types; and graded aggregate base—typically for as-needed, ongoing consumption rather than one-time purchases. The issuing bodies include consolidated city governments (Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia) and county purchasing departments. Vendors compete on unit pricing, delivery terms (F.O.B. job site or pickup at plant), insurance requirements, and compliance with state labor and immigration laws; contracts often award to two vendors (Primary and Secondary) selected as the two lowest responsive, responsible bidders, with two-year terms and renewal options.

Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFB No. 26-0037 (posted May 14, 2026, due June 17, 2026) to procure stone on an annual contract basis with estimated monthly usage of approximately 200 tons and a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals; the city required general liability insurance of $1 million combined single limit, workers' compensation per Georgia statutory requirements, automobile liability of $1 million, and miscellaneous errors and omissions coverage of $1 million, with the City named as additional insured. A separate notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department (July 14, 2026) announced a relocation but contained no procurement scope. Recent activity under this code concentrates in the Southeast, though the source material is limited; broader geographic coverage cannot be confirmed from the available opportunities.
