NIGP 91444: Flooring

NIGP 91444 Flooring is an Item code capturing the removal, installation, repair, and refinishing of floor coverings across state and local facilities. State and local governments are procuring flooring work across diverse material types — vinyl composite tile (VCT), luxury vinyl tile (LVT), carpet tile, hardwood, epoxy and resinous systems, and resilient sheet flooring — predominantly for education facilities (schools, community colleges, technical colleges), municipal buildings, correctional institutions, housing authority properties, and recreation centers. Work scopes range from single-building replacements spanning 2,550 to 11,000+ square feet to multi-facility maintenance agreements and large renovation projects incorporating flooring as one trade package among many. Recent solicitations emphasize moisture mitigation, substrate preparation to specified standards (concrete surface profiles, HEPA-filtered grinding), manufacturer-approved installation, extended warranties (commonly 5–25 years on materials), prevailing wage compliance, and insurance coverage ranging from $1 to $2 million in general liability. Contract structures include fixed-price lump-sum bids, per-square-foot pricing for ongoing agreements, and design-bid-build procurement under construction managers at risk.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Meriden, New Haven, Holyoke, Pellston, Swampscott), community and technical colleges (Skagit Valley, Spokane Falls, Yakima Valley, Bellingham, Columbia Basin, Edmonds, Whatcom), cities and counties (Madison, Beaufort, Long Beach, Dallas, Jackson, New Haven), state agencies (California Employment Development Department, California Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Washington Department of Enterprise Services), special districts (Sacramento County, Housing Authority of Alameda, Harrisburg Area YMCA), and state colleges (Georgia Technical College System). Geographic spread includes recent activity in California (San Bernardino, Corona, Alameda), Texas (Houston, Harlingen), Washington (multiple college campuses, Madison), Connecticut (Meriden, New Haven, Swampscott, Holyoke), Wisconsin (Madison, Portage County), Pennsylvania (Elizabethville), Michigan (Jackson, Pellston), Georgia (Fitzgerald), South Carolina (Dorchester County), Massachusetts (Hanover), and Illinois (Chicago-area). Representative opportunities include the City of Meriden's removal and replacement of approximately 4,088 square feet of VCT flooring at Edison Middle School under ITB B027-08 (due July 15, 2026, prevailing wage, $1–$2 million insurance, epoxy moisture mitigation system); the Housing Authority of Alameda's water damage restoration including drywall, flooring, and fixtures at Independent Plaza under IFB AHA-HD-009 (due August 5, 2026, mandatory pre-bid July 23, prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon); the City of New Haven's Floyd Little Athletic Center flooring replacement under ITB 2026ITB369 (due June 24, 2026, 25% MBE/WBE utilization goal, local preference, concrete moisture mitigation with 25-year warranty); and the California Department of Corrections floor repair, inspection, and replacement at the Institution for Women under IFB C5613376-D (due July 6, 2026, mandatory walk-through, statewide contract through June 2029, per-square-foot pricing on five building types). Activity demonstrates sustained demand across public-sector facility types, with emphasis on specialized moisture-remediation capabilities, multi-material installation expertise, prevailing wage compliance, and bonding readiness.
