NIGP 77088: Tar, Roofing (Coal Tar Pitch)

NIGP 77088 Tar, Roofing (Coal Tar Pitch) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure roofing materials and services for facility maintenance, replacement, and rehabilitation across municipal, county, educational, and special-purpose jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show procurement activity spanning both supply-contract models (roofing materials and supplies inventories) and service contracts (removal, installation, and repair of roof systems on buildings ranging from small pavilions to large convention centers). The City of Tucson is soliciting an extensive catalog of stocked and special-order roofing parts and supplies under an indefinite-quantity arrangement with compliance requirements tied to ARPA funding and EPA material recovery mandates. Issuing bodies include city governments (Tucson, Phoenix, Tybee Island, Madison, College Park), county departments (Santa Clara, Jackson County, Pinal County), school districts (Stephens County Board of Education), community colleges (San Jacinto College), and special authorities (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County). Roofing work spans commercial replacement projects, multi-family residential refurbishment, historic-landmark roof work with archaeological monitoring, and as-needed repair services under standing contracts.

Activity is concentrated in the Southwest (Arizona, California) and Southeast (Georgia, Florida), with additional recent opportunities in Wisconsin, Texas, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Tucson's comprehensive roofing-supply ITB posted September 25, 2026 with an August 7, 2026 due date; the City of Tybee Island's Guard House Roof Replacement ITB (October 27, 2026 response date) covering 2,650 square feet of slate-tile roofing with synthetic alternates and 90-day completion; the Georgia International Convention Center complete TPO-membrane roof replacement RFP (May 25, 2026) requiring OSHA certification and performance bonds; and Jackson County, Missouri's twenty-four-month county-wide roofing services contract (June 16, 2026 bid deadline) on a time-and-materials basis with 9.5 percent MBE participation goals and an estimated $330,000 annual spend. Santa Clara County has issued multiple roofing ITBs (C-39 licensure required) for as-needed repairs and facility-specific replacement, with prevailing-wage public-work compliance. Cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell has extended law-enforcement-equipment solicitation visibility but does not indicate tar-roofing-specific activity. Most roofing-service contracts require bonding, liability insurance with $1 to $2 million limits, prevailing wages where applicable, and warranties ranging from one to fifty years depending on system type and scope.
