NIGP 13566: Tile, Floor and Wall, Ceramic, Unglazed

NIGP 13566 Tile, Floor And Wall, Ceramic, Unglazed is an Item code that encompasses floor and wall preparation, finishing, and restoration work that state and local governments procure as part of facility renovation and maintenance projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing epoxy coating application over existing tile, floor grinding and surface preparation for new finishes, and related ancillary work such as mirror and partition replacement in restroom and public-space renovations. Issuing bodies include county port authorities, municipal governments, and special-purpose districts managing airport facilities and municipal buildings. The work requires demonstrated experience in tile preparation, surface profiling, and application of brand-specific or specification-compliant finishes, with bidders typically required to carry commercial general liability insurance, maintain worker's compensation coverage, and provide performance and payment bonds scaled to project value.

Recent procurement activity centers in Florida, where the Lee County Port Authority issued RFB 26-0041LB in July 2026 for non-public restroom remodels at Southwest Florida International Airport requiring installation of Sherwin-Williams Duraflex epoxy over existing floor and cove base tile in twelve restrooms, with bids due April 23, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for April 7, 2026; and the City of Pembroke Pines in Broward County issued PSPW26QQ01 for floor grinding services at the Polk Building to prepare approximately 28,000 square feet of existing floors for new finishes, with responses due February 4, 2026. Both solicitations require fixed, all-inclusive pricing, compliance with E-Verify employment verification, and comprehensive insurance coverage. No geographic concentration is evident; the source provides no additional state and local opportunities under this code beyond the Florida examples.
