NIGP 36081: Tile, Parquet

NIGP 36081 Tile, Parquet (Item) covers tile and parquet flooring products and installation services that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, renovation, and new construction across schools, county offices, and municipal properties. Recent solicitations show school districts buying tile alongside vinyl, carpet, and epoxy flooring as part of comprehensive flooring programs, with installation labor, surface preparation, adhesives, and warranties included in contract scope. Work encompasses standard tile installation, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) products, decorative epoxy quartz resinous flooring, and related materials such as cove base and moisture mitigation—typically bundled with other flooring categories rather than procured in isolation. Issuing bodies are predominantly large school districts and county school boards, with occasional municipal participation; Hillsborough County Public Schools and Seminole County Schools emerge as active buyers from the recent record.

Flooring procurement under this code concentrates in Florida, where Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26190ITBMST in September 2026 for flooring materials and services across its 235 schools, encompassing carpet tile (22,300 standard and 1,000 high-moisture square yards), vinyl flooring (306,000 square feet Armstrong vinyl), LVT installation (250,000 square feet), epoxy decorative quartz flooring, and dance flooring components, with bids due August 6, 2026 and preference for SBE, MBE, WBE, and veteran-owned vendors. Seminole County Schools pursued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for J+J Flooring's Kinetex non-slip flooring district-wide in September 2026, with an estimated annual expenditure of $800,000 and a challenge deadline of October 29, 2025. Both solicitations reflect school district scale and multi-year contracting relationships; neither surfaces tile as a standalone line item, positioning the code as part of integrated flooring programs rather than a primary procurement driver.
