NIGP 36089: Tools and Equipment, Floor Installation

NIGP 36089 Tools and Equipment, Floor Installation is an Item code that encompasses the supply and installation of commercial flooring materials and related equipment across multiple property types—detention facilities, municipal buildings, educational institutions, and event venues—where state and local governments procure complete flooring solutions on both one-time project and recurring as-needed bases. Recent solicitations reveal that buyers under this code are acquiring carpet replacement and repair, resilient floor tiles (VCT, rubber, LVT, vinyl composite tile, luxury vinyl tile), ceramic tile, hardwood, epoxy quartz systems, Kinetex carpet tiles, and associated substrate preparation, removal, and disposal services. The issuing bodies span city procurement offices (Detroit, Orlando, Fort Worth, Pembroke Pines), school districts (Atlanta Public Schools, Northside Independent School District, Santa Clara County Library District, Seminole County Schools, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point), and specialized municipal departments (fire stations, detention centers). Detroit's Office of Contracting and Procurement appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple flooring and related facility-maintenance solicitations since May 2026.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed, with recent opportunities in Michigan (Detroit), Florida (Orlando, Pembroke Pines, Seminole County), Texas (San Antonio, Fort Worth), California (Santa Clara County), Wisconsin (Stevens Point), and Georgia (Atlanta). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Orlando's RFP for Kia Center flooring replacement (876,000 square feet, 25-point weighting for experience and management, due March 26, 2026), the City of Fort Worth's non-exclusive agreements for flooring materials and installation services across multiple departments with 30% small-business participation goal (due July 23, 2026), Atlanta Public Schools' IFB for carpet and flooring installation services with mandatory pre-bid on February 25, 2026 (due March 18, 2026), and Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-049 for custodial equipment (due March 26, 2026). Evaluation frequently emphasizes experience (three to seven years minimum depending on scope and venue complexity), insurance compliance ($1,000,000 commercial general liability and workers' compensation at statutory limits typical), and firm fixed pricing with no hidden charges; many municipalities offer equalization credits or local-vendor preferences where applicable, and Detroit particularly favors pre-approved supplier schedules restricting bidder pools to established vendors.
