NIGP 36083: Tile, Rubber

NIGP 36083 Tile, Rubber is an Item code describing specialty rubber flooring products—specifically non-slip rubber tiles and sheet goods—that state and local governments procure for institutional and educational facilities. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida's recent district-wide solicitation for Kinetex non-slip flooring illustrates the practical scope: schools and similar public bodies buy rubber flooring to address safety, durability, and accessibility needs in high-traffic areas such as gymnasiums, kitchens, hallways, and specialized instructional spaces. Public buyers under this code include school districts and other educational agencies seeking to standardize flooring across multiple facilities or upgrade aging surfaces to meet slip-resistance and wear standards.

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida posted a Notice of Intent to Sole Source (solicitation 25260057STL) on September 21, 2026, for Kinetex flooring manufactured by J+J Flooring with an estimated annual expenditure of $800,000.00 and a response deadline of October 29, 2025. Vendors wishing to challenge the sole source designation or propose alternative products meeting Kinetex specifications must submit documentation to the purchasing contact, Travis Loyd. The procurement is geographically anchored in Florida, with J+J Flooring's operations based in Dalton, Georgia. Recent activity under this code remains limited in the available record; the Seminole County procurement represents the primary documented state or local opportunity.
