NIGP 23220: Carpet Warp and Roving, Macrame

NIGP 23220 Carpet Warp and Roving, Macrame is an Item code covering carpet materials and installation services that state and local governments procure for facility improvements and maintenance projects. Based on recent solicitations, this code captures the full scope of carpet replacement work—including removal, substrate preparation, material supply, and installation—rather than raw fiber components alone. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal housing authorities, city development agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin posted a carpet replacement project for Karabis Apartments in June 2026, requesting bids for removal and installation of approximately 2,800 square feet of commercial-grade carpet tile with Davis-Bacon wage compliance and HUD small-construction oversight.

Recent activity shows the code in use across the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. The Madison carpet replacement solicitation (RFB #15050-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026) represents direct municipal procurement tied to federal housing funding, while Sourcewell—a Minnesota local government cooperative—issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 on behalf of participating counties in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and other public entities for a law enforcement equipment contracting solution. The Madison opportunity illustrates the typical scope of work under this code: commercial-grade carpet tile installation with lump-sum, fixed-fee pricing, proof of liability insurance, and completion within one month. Contractors must meet Davis-Bacon wage requirements and carry Commercial General Liability coverage of at least $1 million per occurrence.
