NIGP 65060: Slides, Playground

NIGP 65060 Slides, Playground is an Item code representing commercial playground equipment and surfacing installation work that state and local governments buy through design-build, design-supply-install, and repair contracts. Recent solicitations show municipalities and school districts across the Southeast and beyond procuring comprehensive playground systems—including modular composite structures, age-appropriate play components, safety surfacing (engineered wood fiber, poured-in-place rubber, artificial turf), demolition, site preparation, and warranty services—with projects ranging from $600,000 to $4,000,000 and spanning renovation of existing parks to new neighborhood park build-outs with inclusive, ADA-compliant features.

Activity under this code clusters among city parks and recreation departments, county governments, and school districts, with Georgia emerging as a repeat buyer. Recent work includes the City of Roswell's five-park playground replacement ($1.5 million, RFP, July 2026 close), Pinellas County School District's multi-category equipment and surfacing procurement ($2,000,000 annually, ITB, April 2026 close), Chatham County's ESU Early Childhood Learning Center playground across three age-group zones (ITB, May 2026 close), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' furnish-and-install program for 235 school sites (RFP, March 2026 close). Draper City, Utah also solicited design services for Hidden Canyon Park improvements (RFP, July 2026). Beyond Georgia and Florida, the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department ran a sheltered catalog-discount procurement for 200-plus-park maintenance and replacement ($4,000,000 estimated, ITB, May 2026 close), the City of Santa Monica procured five-year repair and restoration services ($240,000, IFB, March 2026 close), and Orange County, Florida bid Waterleigh Neighborhood Park construction ($1,300,000 estimated, IFB, February 2026 close). Buyer types span municipalities, county governments, school districts, and special authorities; Georgia counties and Florida school districts appear most active in recent postings.
