NIGP 36025: Linoleum

NIGP 36025 Linoleum, an Item code, encompasses linoleum and vinyl flooring materials sourced by state and local governments for facility maintenance, renovation, and new construction across schools, municipalities, and county systems. State and local buyers procure linoleum alongside related vinyl products, installation labor, surface preparation, adhesives, and complementary flooring services such as cove base and moisture mitigation. Recent solicitations demonstrate demand for linoleum as part of broader flooring portfolios that include carpet, vinyl composite tile, luxury vinyl tile, epoxy, and stone; linoleum specifically appears when durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance align with facility type and budget. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include large school districts, city procurement offices, and county facilities management — public bodies managing campuses, municipal buildings, and administrative facilities where linoleum remains a cost-competitive floor covering choice for high-traffic areas.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in Florida and Texas. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) issued ITB 26190-ITBMST for flooring materials and installation services due August 20, 2026, requesting 306,000 square feet of Armstrong vinyl flooring and vinyl tile installation across seven flooring categories for 235 schools and approximately 225,000 students; the School Board of Seminole County, Florida pursued a sole source procurement for Kinetex non-slip flooring with an estimated annual expenditure of $800,000, valid through October 29, 2025. The City of Fort Worth issued RFP 260223 in June 2026 for non-exclusive flooring materials, installation, and services agreements covering linoleum, vinyl composite tile, and luxury vinyl tile on an as-needed basis, with a 30% Small Business participation goal and proposals due July 23, 2026. Both school districts and municipalities offer set-aside opportunities for SBE, MBE, and WBE vendors; HCPS explicitly encouraged certified Small Business Enterprise participation and offered alternative payment terms to qualified vendors.
