NIGP 36067: Stair Treads, Rubber

NIGP 36067 Stair Treads, Rubber is an Item code that encompasses rubber and composite stair treads and related slip-resistant flooring materials purchased by state and local governments for facility maintenance and safety upgrades across institutional and public buildings. The code covers both discrete stair-tread products and broader non-slip flooring systems installed in high-traffic areas where slip resistance and durability are operational requirements. State and local issuing bodies under this code include school districts, which represent the primary buyer segment in recent activity, alongside municipal departments and facility-management divisions that manage institutional building portfolios.

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida posted a Notice of Intent to Sole Source (solicitation 25260057STL) on February 23, 2026, for district-wide procurement of Kinetex non-slip flooring manufactured by J+J Flooring, with a response deadline of October 29, 2025, and an estimated annual expenditure of $800,000. The procurement allows competing vendors to challenge the sole source designation or propose alternative products demonstrating equivalence to Kinetex flooring. Recent activity under this code is concentrated in Florida, with school districts leading solicitation volume. Vendors pursuing this segment should expect sole-source and preferred-vendor competitions where incumbent manufacturers hold significant market position; competitive responses require comprehensive product-equivalence documentation and direct engagement with purchasing contacts during the challenge period.
