NIGP 54536: Lathe, Woodworking

NIGP 54536 Lathe, Woodworking is an Item code under which state and local governments procure architectural wood restoration services, including paneling touch-up and cleaning, handrail repair, door restoration, and desk refinishing across public facilities. The work encompasses removing previous repair attempts, refinishing, blending stain and topcoat, applying protective coatings, and cleaning; bidders typically propose firm-fixed hourly rates for standard and overtime labor with materials and markup included. Issuing bodies span special-purpose authorities managing convention centers and sports facilities, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions across state and local government.

The Events DC RFQ 25-S-035 for Architectural Wood Restoration, posted May 21, 2026 with responses due the same day, illustrates current activity under this code in the District of Columbia, where a District of Columbia Department of Small and Local Business Development set-aside limits bidding to certified local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprises. The scope spans approximately 27,000 square feet of paneling, 2,184 linear feet of handrails, 225 meeting room doors, and six desks across multiple Events DC facilities including the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Carnegie Library, Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, the District of Columbia Armory, and others; the base contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 with four one-year renewal options. Minimum qualifications include five years of documented experience with exotic wood types, current Architectural Woodwork Institute certification and membership, and three customer references. A separate Sourcewell RFP #061626 issued May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment, with responses due June 16, 2026, indicates broader cooperative purchasing activity across Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with other jurisdictions nationwide; however, this opportunity sits outside the core wood restoration scope of this code.
