NIGP 36010: Carpets and Rugs: Cotton, Synthetic, Wool, etc.

NIGP 36010 Carpets and Rugs: Cotton, Synthetic, Wool, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure removal, installation, and replacement of flooring materials—primarily broadloom and carpet tile, but also vinyl composition tile, luxury vinyl tile, epoxy systems, and related base and transition components—across schools, transit authorities, state agencies, municipal offices, and housing authorities. The code captures both standalone flooring projects and comprehensive maintenance contracts where carpet and resilient flooring services are bundled with general repairs and facility upkeep. Issuing bodies span school districts (San Antonio ISD, Atlanta Public Schools, Granite School District, Hazel Park Schools, Wellsville Elementary, Springfield elementary schools, Anne Arundel County Public Schools), state departments (California Department of Transportation, California Employment Development Department, California Department of Industrial Relations, Missouri Department of Transportation), counties and cities (Orange County, City of Meriden, City of Pittsburgh, City of South Lake, City of Springfield MA, Alameda Housing Authority, Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Salt Lake County), transit authorities (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority), and special districts (New Mexico Military Institute, universities, regional vocational schools). San Antonio Independent School District appears multiple times across recent solicitations as a repeat buyer of general maintenance services bundled with flooring work. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Caltrans, EDD, DIR), Massachusetts, Georgia, Utah, Texas, and Wisconsin, with scattered activity across Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, New Mexico, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.

Representative recent opportunities show strong flooring-installation activity. Georgia World Congress Center Authority issued an IFB on July 13, 2026 (response due August 3, 2026) for 41,913 square feet of Shaw carpet-tile replacement in Building C meeting rooms across three December phases, including demolition, floor treatment, pressure-sensitive adhesive installation, and 2% attic stock, with mandatory pre-bid attendance on July 20 and strict communication restrictions in effect. San Antonio Independent School District posted RFP 26-013(RV)(5) on July 16, 2026 (due August 15, 2026) for continuous, open-ended general maintenance services including installation, repairs, and assessments district-wide on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum. Cache County School District issued IFB #CCSD-IFB33026 on March 18, 2026 (due March 30, 2026) for removal and replacement of 2,800 square feet of glue-down carpet and vinyl composition tile at Wellsville Elementary, with installation of new Tarkett Powerbond commercial carpet tile using low-VOC adhesive, mandatory pre-bid site visit on March 23, and Davis-Bacon wage compliance. Atlanta Public Schools solicited carpet and flooring installation services through IFB on February 18, 2026 (due March 18, 2026) covering broadloom, carpet tiles, VCT, resilient tiles, ceramic tile, vinyl and rubber sheet flooring with removal and disposal across the district on both daytime and after-hours schedules, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on February 25 and pricing quoted per square foot or hourly rate. California Department of Industrial Relations issued IFB S25BMO009 on February 18, 2026 (due April 3, 2026) for carpet and vinyl flooring removal and installation at its Oakland facility covering 15 separate suites with Interface Driftwood carpet and Armstrong VCT specified, a mandatory pre-bid site inspection on March 5, and an $800,000 budget ceiling. Activity is year-round with heavy clustering in late February through March and July through August; most awards go to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; prevailing wage, bonding, insurance, and Davis-Bacon compliance appear standard across jurisdictions; and set-asides vary by geography (California emphasizes small-business and DVBE preferences; Texas emphasizes SWMBE; Massachusetts emphasizes MWBE).
