NIGP 91444: Flooring

NIGP 91444 Flooring, an Item code, covers the removal, preparation, and installation of resilient and hard-surface flooring systems across state and local facilities, including carpet tile, vinyl, epoxy, luxury vinyl plank, terrazzo, and gym floor coatings. Recent solicitations show active procurement spanning community colleges, school districts, state health and corrections agencies, county utilities, and municipal facilities across multiple states, with activity concentrated in Washington, California, Texas, and Florida.

Issuing bodies range widely: Washington community colleges (Highline, South Seattle, Everett, Wenatchee Valley, Big Bend) dominate recent postings, alongside California state health and transportation agencies, Texas state health and workforce agencies, Florida school districts and municipalities, Georgia juvenile justice and education bodies, and county-level facilities departments. The mix reflects flooring work embedded in broader building renovations, maintenance cycles, and infrastructure upgrades rather than standalone flooring procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Highline College requesting bids for Building 3 renovation (IFB, due November 18, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting epoxy floor installation at Rusk State Hospital (IFB, due October 28, 2026 with mandatory site visits), the City of Ocala issuing an invitation to bid for terrazzo flooring installation at City Hall (ITB, due September 23, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid meeting), and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection restricting flooring replacement bids to certified small businesses only (due November 3, 2026). Geographic spread spans Washington, California, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, Colorado, and South Carolina, with significant activity in California public health facilities pursuing seismic-compliance and renovation projects that include flooring components. Contract values range from under $100,000 to over $300,000, with prevailing wage and bonding requirements typical for projects exceeding state thresholds. SBE and DVBE set-asides appear in California solicitations (Caltrans, CAL FIRE); HUB participation targets apply in Texas state health procurements; and project labor agreements govern work in Connecticut. Pre-bid meetings and site visits are commonly mandatory, with liquidated damages provisions standard for construction and renovation work.
