NIGP 36030: Padding and Cushioning, Carpet

NIGP 36030 Padding and Cushioning, Carpet is an Item code covering carpet tile, broadloom, and base installation and removal services across institutional, municipal, and commercial facility renovations. State and local governments actively procure under this code to replace flooring in meeting rooms, classrooms, libraries, conference centers, schools, and public buildings—typically as part of larger facility renovation phases executed on lump-sum, fixed-fee bases with strict completion windows and mandatory pre-bid site visits. Issuing bodies include state agencies, county governments, municipal school districts, independent school systems, special-purpose authorities (such as convention centers and regional library systems), and universities. Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Atlanta Public Schools, and Jackson County, Missouri appear as repeat buyers in recent solicitations; California Department of Industrial Relations, City of Meriden, Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin, Seminole County Schools, and Uintah County, Utah also issued recent notices under this code.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Texas, Missouri, Utah, and California. Representative solicitations include Georgia World Congress Center Authority's Building C Meeting Room Carpet Replacement Phase IV (IFB, August 3, 2026 response date) covering 41,913 square feet of Shaw carpet tile removal and installation with mandatory pre-bid site visit; City of Meriden's Platt High School Media Center Flooring (ITB, June 3, 2026) requiring removal and installation of approximately 5,630 square feet of Mannington carpet tile with prevailing wage and Connecticut small-business set-asides (25% SBE, 6.25% MBE/WBE/DBE); Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin's Karabis Apartments Carpet Replacement (RFB, July 17, 2026) for 2,800 square feet of commercial-grade carpet tile under Davis-Bacon wage requirements; and California Department of Industrial Relations' Oakland Office flooring removal and installation (IFB, March 27, 2026 electronic submission, with $800,000 budget) combining carpet and VCT work under public-works prevailing wage. Insurance, bonding, workers' compensation, and compliance documentation (E-Verify, tax clearance, background checks, non-discrimination affidavits) are standard across jurisdictions; communication restrictions and liquidated-damages language appear frequently in Georgia and other authority-level procurements.
