NIGP 57855: Mats, All Kinds (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 57855 Mats, All Kinds (Not Otherwise Classified), Item, covers specialized mat products that state and local governments procure for athletics, accessibility, and law enforcement applications. Recent solicitations show school districts and county parks departments buying wrestling mats in specified dimensions with taped connections and warranty coverage, mobility and accessibility mats engineered for outdoor field use with ADA compliance and UV stabilization, and law enforcement equipment bundles that include mats as component items. The issuing bodies are diverse—school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and public entities including higher education institutions, K-12 districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with recent opportunities posted by Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Broward County Parks and Recreation in Florida, the City of DeBary in Florida, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota-based cooperative serving Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, plus entities throughout the United States and Canada). Fulton County Schools issued IFB No. 214-26 for three distinct wrestling mat sizes (38'x38', 40'x40', and 42'x42') with 1-5/8" thickness and one-year warranty, due May 26, 2026. Broward County Parks and Recreation solicited 27 rolls of 33-by-5-foot and 14 rolls of 50-by-5-foot polyester accessibility mats, UV stabilized and weighing no more than 0.5 pounds per square foot, with delivery and installation materials included, due April 2, 2026. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (which encompasses mats as line items) with a June 16, 2026 deadline, designed to establish a cooperative contract framework for use across thousands of participating governmental agencies nationwide.
