NIGP 13564: Tile, Floor and Wall, Ceramic, Glazed

NIGP 13564 Tile, Floor And Wall, Ceramic, Glazed is an Item code representing ceramic tile materials and installation services for commercial and institutional facilities. State and local governments procure this code for restroom renovations, aquatic center tile replacement, lobby improvements, and broader flooring refresh projects that integrate ceramic tile with other flooring types such as epoxy, vinyl composite tile, and resilient flooring systems. Work typically encompasses removal of existing tile, installation of specified ceramic tile (often with large-format wall tiles and small-format floor tiles), grout application, fixture reinstallation, and coordination with other trades in occupied or time-sensitive facilities.

Recent solicitations under this code span multiple issuing-body types: municipalities (City of Fort Worth, City of St. Petersburg, City of Pembroke Pines), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Lee County Port Authority, Boulder County Building Services, Chattooga County Schools), state agencies (California Department of Transportation, Texas Workforce Commission, California Department of Industrial Relations), housing authorities (Housing Authority of the City of Alameda), and universities (University of Texas at Tyler). The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda issued an IFB on July 11, 2026, for water damage repairs including tile flooring at Independent Plaza with bids due August 6, 2026, requiring attendance at a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit on July 23, 2026. Lee County Port Authority posted an RFB on July 2, 2026, for non-public restroom remodels at Southwest Florida International Airport requiring epoxy application over existing tile and stainless steel partition replacement, with bids due April 23, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited sealed bids on June 10, 2026, for wall tile and floor tile replacement at Bethesda Park Aquatic Center with bids due July 9, 2026, specifying large-format ceramic wall tiles and small-format ceramic floor tiles. Recent activity concentrates in California, Texas, Florida, Colorado, and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Arizona and Washington state cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Fort Worth posted a non-exclusive flooring RFP in late June 2026 encompassing ceramic tile installation alongside other flooring types with a 30% small-business participation goal. Prevailing wage requirements, bonding mandates (typically 5% bid bonds and 100% performance bonds), mandatory pre-bid site inspections or conferences, and competitive sealed bidding dominate the notice structure across this code.
