NIGP 36089: Tools and Equipment, Floor Installation

NIGP 36089 Tools and Equipment, Floor Installation, an Item code, encompasses lightweight modular staging systems and related floor-mounted equipment that state and local governments procure for performance venues, recreation facilities, and special events. Recent solicitations show this code capturing a narrow but recurring slice of purchasing activity centered on portable stage systems, modular platforms, and rigging hardware capable of supporting high-traffic assembly and disassembly cycles in multipurpose facilities.

Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) posted ITQ 26327-ITQ-MST in October 2026 requesting a complete 12' X 24' X 24" Easy-Lite Stage System with industrial platforms, risers, step packages, transport carts, and FOB Destination shipping; the solicitation favored SBE vendors certified with the district's Office of Supplier Development, with quotes due September 1, 2026. School districts dominate the recent issuing-body profile for this code, though activity remains sparse overall. The geographic concentration is narrow—only Florida school districts appear in the recent record. Respondents must demonstrate minimum three years' experience, hold active Florida business registration and licenses, maintain commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance with the district named as additional insured, and keep all bids firm for one year post-award. HCPS reserves the right to conduct price negotiations and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or multiple bidders, with questions due August 25, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. ET. The solicitation applies to all members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council, expanding potential venue reach beyond the single school district.
