NIGP 42547: Floors, Raised Access Type (for Data Processing Equipment)

NIGP 42547 Floors, Raised Access Type (For Data Processing Equipment) is an Item code that appears in state and local solicitations primarily for interior flooring restoration and replacement work following water damage, fire, or similar events affecting occupied spaces — though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly scoped to raised-access flooring for data processing environments. The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda issued an IFB in July 2026 for water damage repairs at Independent Plaza that included flooring replacement (wood grain, carpet, tile) alongside drywall, insulation, bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, and miscellaneous interior finishes across fifteen residential units, three corridors, and one stairwell. Issuing bodies under this code include housing authorities, municipal agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment posted in May 2026 operates as a statewide and multi-state contracting solution available to counties, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities, though the scope does not reference flooring or data-center infrastructure.

Geographic activity centers on California (Alameda) and the Pacific Northwest (Sourcewell operates across Washington state and nationally). The Alameda Housing Authority IFB for water damage restoration at 703 and 711 Atlantic Avenue closed August 5, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit on July 23, 2026; work required Class B General Contractor licensure, prevailing wage compliance under Davis-Bacon and California Labor Code, and $2 million commercial general liability insurance, with completion targeted for November 2026. The code shows limited recent solicitation volume — only two opportunities in the block, neither explicitly targeting raised-access flooring infrastructure for data processing equipment. Contractors pursuing work under this code should monitor housing authorities, municipal facilities departments, and cooperative purchasing portals for restoration and replacement projects, particularly those requiring prevailing wage compliance and specialized trade licensing.
