NIGP 36070: Steel Mats, Flexible

NIGP 36070 Steel Mats, Flexible is an Item code that captures specialized flooring products, particularly non-slip and flexible mat systems that state and local governments deploy across facilities requiring enhanced traction and safety. The code reflects procurement of advanced flooring materials designed for high-traffic or slip-hazard environments. Recent solicitation activity shows school districts as primary buyers, acquiring district-wide flooring systems to standardize safety infrastructure across multiple buildings and grounds.

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida posted a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on February 23, 2026, for Kinetex non-slip flooring manufactured by J+J Flooring (incumbent vendor based in Dalton, Georgia), with a response deadline of October 29, 2025, and an estimated annual expenditure of $800,000. The procurement allows alternative proposals or challenges to the sole source designation when vendors can demonstrate product equivalence. No specific set-aside designations were noted in this opportunity. Florida represents the current geographic focus for this code based on recent public activity. Interested vendors should contact Travis Loyd at Loydtz@scps.k12.fl.us to challenge the sole source determination or propose comparable products.
