NIGP 36060: Special Flooring, Industrial, Resinous, Elastomeric Liquid, etc.

NIGP 36060 Special Flooring, Industrial, Resinous, Elastomeric Liquid, Etc., Item, encompasses gymnasium and athletic flooring replacement, aircraft hangar epoxy resurfacing, carpet tile and vinyl flooring installation, and decorative resinous flooring systems. State and local governments procure these services through a mix of school districts, counties, cities, universities, and special-purpose authorities, with recent activity dominated by K-12 school systems seeking gymnasium floor replacements and multipurpose flooring installation contracts. Representative recent opportunities include Essexville-Hampton Public Schools (Michigan) seeking gymnasium floor replacement with heat-welded vinyl sports flooring via sealed proposal due October 23, 2026; Beaufort County Capital Projects (South Carolina) requesting aircraft hangar epoxy flooring resurfacing via RFP with proposals due July 8, 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issuing an ITB for carpet, vinyl, epoxy, and tile flooring materials and installation services with bids due August 6, 2026, serving the seventh-largest school system with 235 schools. Work scopes range from single-facility gymnasium floor replacement (5,000 to 7,500 square feet) to district-wide flooring frameworks covering multiple product categories and installation labor.

Geographic activity spans the Southeast (South Carolina, Georgia, Florida) and Midwest (Michigan), with additional opportunities in Texas, Utah, and California. Recent procurements reflect both competitive RFP/RFB processes and cooperative purchasing vehicles—Carroll County Board of Education (Georgia) used an OMNIA Partners cooperative contract through Georgia DOAS for weight room flooring valued at $123,264, while Seminole County Schools (Florida) pursued a sole-source procurement for Kinetex non-slip flooring with annual expenditure estimated at $800,000. School districts consistently require contractor licensing, insurance (general liability typically $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation), references from comparable projects, and warranties ranging from one to five years. Performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value are standard when thresholds are met. Set-asides and preferences vary: Hillsborough County actively encourages SBE, MBE, WBE, and SDVOB participation; Texas A&M requires a State of Texas Subcontracting Plan addressing Veteran-Owned Business opportunities; City of Fort Worth applies a 30 percent Small Business utilization goal. Prevailing wage requirements apply in Connecticut and California procurements. Activity is steady with multiple simultaneous opportunities across school districts, parks and recreation departments, airports, and universities, indicating consistent baseline demand for flooring replacement and maintenance services.
