NIGP 91488: Wood, Includes Architectural Woodwork

NIGP 91488 Wood, Includes Architectural Woodwork is an Item code that describes materials and services state and local governments procure for building renovation, facility upgrades, and restoration work—chiefly wood components, architectural woodwork, interior finishes, and related labor for institutional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span community colleges, state agencies, county facilities, and special-purpose districts across multiple states, with the largest concentration in Washington state. Issuing bodies include Washington community colleges (Highline, South Seattle, Everett, Big Bend, Edmonds, Shoreline, Tacoma, Pierce, Clark, Lake Washington Institute of Technology, Skagit Valley, Wenatchee Valley), state departments (Washington Department of Corrections, Department of Social and Health Services, Department of Children, Youth and Families, Department of Ecology, Department of Veterans Affairs, Washington Military Department), Santa Clara County and City of Santa Clara (California), City of DeBary (Florida), City of Madison (Wisconsin), Escambia County (Florida), and Washington D.C. through Events DC. Representative recent solicitations show a mix of facility rehabilitation and component replacement work: Highline College issued an IFB for Building 3 Renovation (due November 18, 2026); Edmonds College solicited bids for a cedar warehouse retaining wall (due November 11, 2026); Escambia County sought exterior repairs to the Perdido Key Community Center including wood porch ceiling component replacement (due September 4, 2026); and Events DC issued an RFQ for Architectural Wood Restoration Services on an as-needed basis across District of Columbia facilities, requiring Architectural Woodwork Institute certification and up to 12 preference points for qualified small and disadvantaged businesses (due July 13, 2026).

Washington state accounts for the bulk of recent activity, with multiple community college system procurements for renovations, modernizations, and repairs posted in the July through November 2026 window. California facilities—particularly Santa Clara County's medical center seismic-compliance projects and the City of DeBary's irrigation infrastructure work—represent secondary geographic concentration. Florida, Wisconsin, and Washington D.C. procurements round out the geographic spread. The Events DC solicitation (25S053) stands out as a multi-year as-needed services contract with a base term through September 30, 2027 and four optional one-year renewals, hourly labor pricing, and a preference framework favoring disadvantaged business enterprises. Most Washington community college and state agency solicitations are brief IFB notices with minimal scope detail posted online, requiring bidders to obtain full specifications from the issuing body; several are reissues or rebids (e.g., Washington Department of Corrections shower repair at Airway Heights Corrections Center, rebid posted October 13, 2026, due December 2, 2026). No recent solicitation in the dataset explicitly mentions architectural woodwork as the primary scope, though renovation, building upgrade, and facility restoration work typically incorporates wood materials and finishes where specified in the underlying contract documents.
