NIGP 91488: Wood, Includes Architectural Woodwork

NIGP 91488 Wood, Includes Architectural Woodwork, is an Item code under which state and local governments procure restoration, refinishing, and installation services for architectural wood elements—paneling, handrails, doors, cabinetry, and structural components—typically embedded in facility renovation, historic preservation, and adaptive-use projects. The code sees activity from community colleges, state departments, municipal agencies, and special-purpose authorities across Washington, Georgia, New Mexico, and the District of Columbia. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include Washington's community college system (Skagit Valley College, Tacoma Community College, Bellevue College, Renton Technical College), state departments (Washington Department of Enterprise Services, Department of Social and Health Services, Department of Corrections), municipal entities (City of Santa Fe, Events DC), and county governments (Portage County, DeKalb County). The work typically bundles wood restoration with broader campus or facility renovation—Events DC's RFQ 25S035, posted May 21, 2026 with response due May 21, 2026, exemplifies the core scope: restoration of approximately 27,000 square feet of paneling, 2,184 linear feet of handrails, 225 doors, and six desks across District of Columbia properties including the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and Carnegie Library, requiring five years of documented exotic-wood restoration experience and current Architectural Woodwork Institute certification, with firm-fixed hourly rates and a base term through September 30, 2027 plus four one-year options. Events DC's later RFQ 25S053, posted July 14 with response due July 13, 2026, restates the same scope and qualifications as a broader as-needed engagement across Events DC facilities. Skagit Valley College's Ford Hall Renovations bid (2026226G11, due July 16, 2026) and the Griffin-Spalding County Land Bank Authority's historic home redevelopment RFP for Haistens Hospital (posted June 23, 2026, due September 28, 2026) indicate architectural woodwork activity embedded in larger adaptive-use and rehabilitation projects.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Washington State, where community colleges and state facilities drive repeated solicitation volume, with secondary activity in Georgia and the District of Columbia. Washington procurement activity spans the community college system and state departments managing capital projects, while Georgia and DC activity clusters around special-use facilities and historic preservation. The District of Columbia opportunities emphasize diversity set-asides and preference points for small, disadvantaged, resident-owned, and local businesses, with Events DC allocating up to 12 preference points across multiple classifications. Washington procurements emphasize prevailing wage compliance, apprenticeship utilization mandates (typically 15 percent), and voluntary diverse business enterprise goals (10 percent MBE, 6 percent WBE, 5 percent SBE/PWSBE, 5 percent veteran). Recent activity shows a tight clustering of opportunities in the second and third quarters of 2026, with multiple concurrent college campus renovation projects creating overlapping demand windows; the code does not show high-volume individual contracts but consistent baseline activity in facility modernization and historic adaptive-use programs.
