NIGP 61523: Chair Mats (Carpet Protectors), All Types

NIGP 61523 Chair Mats (Carpet Protectors), All Types is an Item code under which state and local governments procure flooring installation services, specifically carpet tile and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) with base cove in commercial office and residential settings. Recent opportunities show that the code captures large-scale interior flooring projects encompassing material supply, subfloor preparation, installation labor, substrate finishing, and disposal of existing flooring. The issuing bodies are municipal and county departments managing public facilities and housing authorities—in the recent record, the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin and the Montgomery County Department of Assets and Infrastructure (Maryland) both solicited flooring work under this code. Both opportunities required contractors to carry $1 million Commercial General Liability insurance, comply with prevailing-wage requirements, and furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and disposal services as fixed-price, all-inclusive contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Wisconsin and Maryland. The City of Madison CDA posted a request for bids (RFB) on June 29, 2026 for carpet tile replacement at Karabis Apartments—approximately 2,800 square feet of commercial-grade 24" × 24" carpet tile with solution-dyed fiber and low-VOC adhesive, with responses due July 17, 2026. Montgomery County's Department of Assets and Infrastructure posted an RFB on May 21, 2026 for flooring installation at One Montgomery Plaza covering roughly 18,000 square feet across two floors, mixing specified carpet styles with LVT and rubber base cove, with bids due June 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference offered on-site. Both contracts were federally funded, triggering Davis-Bacon wage compliance and nondiscrimination provisions; both required three professional references and specified equipment and materials by product name and color.
