NIGP 36030: Padding and Cushioning, Carpet

NIGP 36030 Padding and Cushioning, Carpet is an Item code that encompasses the purchase and installation of carpet products—including roll carpet, tile carpet, carpet base materials, and related labor—across state and local facilities on both project and as-needed bases. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring commercial-grade carpet tile, carpet removal and disposal, subfloor preparation, adhesive installation, padding, and cove or wall base in schools, libraries, airports, courthouses, housing authorities, universities, and municipal facilities. Work spans new installations, unit turnovers in multifamily housing, and phased renovation projects in public buildings.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Seminole County schools in Florida, City of Meriden school system in Connecticut, and Texas Southern University), municipal and county governments (Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia, Superior Court of California in Butte County, Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin, Satilla Regional Library System in Georgia), special-purpose authorities (Melbourne Airport Authority in Florida, Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Housing Authority of the City of Alameda in California), and regional library systems. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and California, with additional recent solicitation activity in Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Texas. Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFB No. 27-0015 for roll carpet, tile carpet, and carpet base materials with installation services across city and county facilities, bids due November 18, 2026; Melbourne Airport Authority solicited sealed bids for concourse carpet and flooring replacement at Melbourne Orlando International Airport with bids due November 5, 2026 and a mandatory October 8 site visit; Hillsborough County Public Schools released ITB 26190-MST for flooring materials and installation (carpet tile, vinyl, epoxy, tile, and labor) with bids due August 6, 2026; and the Satilla Regional Library System requested proposals for a one-million-dollar library renovation including commercial-grade LVP, tile, and carpet installation across approximately 15,000 square feet, with sealed bids due June 16, 2026. Local-vendor preferences and small-business set-asides appear frequently; several jurisdictions apply prevailing-wage requirements under Davis-Bacon Act compliance for federal-funded projects.
