NIGP 96894: Waterproofing Systems and Repair

NIGP 96894 Waterproofing Systems and Repair, Item, represents a narrowly focused but active procurement category addressing moisture intrusion, structural protection, and facade restoration across municipal and institutional real estate. State and local governments use this code to solicit labor and materials for below-grade foundation sealing, roof waterproofing and membrane application, concrete crack repair, joint sealant work, silane sealer installation, exterior wall remediation, and associated surface preparation—often bundled with structural or envelope repair work when water damage has progressed beyond the membrane itself. Recent solicitations show clients requesting comprehensive waterproofing scopes: excavation and membrane installation on apartment foundations; exterior recreation-yard sealing at detention facilities; interior attic remediation paired with roof and window replacement; and reactive repair-and-seal work at parking structures and senior centers. The mix of issuing bodies spans counties (Clay County, Walker County, Macon Water Authority, Marion County, Cobb County), municipalities (City of DeBary, Kissimmee, Tallahassee, Union City, Santa Cruz, Madison), school districts and community colleges (Hillsborough County Public Schools, San Jacinto College), and universities (University of Southern Mississippi, University of Houston, Augusta University). Florida and Georgia dominate recent activity, with secondary clusters in Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia, and California. No single repeat buyer is dominant, though Florida municipalities and Georgia counties each appear multiple times.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Kissimmee RFQ for foundation waterproofing at Haven on Vine Apartments (excavation, crack routing, membrane installation, Davis-Bacon and Build America Buy America compliance required, posted October 19, 2026, due July 8, 2026—subsequently cancelled), Clay County IFB #26/27-002 for jail recreation-yard waterproofing and cell water-intrusion repair (mandatory pre-bid October 15, 2026, bids due November 12, 2026, requiring five years of relevant experience and 40 percent self-perform), Walker County RFP 2026-10b for courthouse attic remediation, roof repair, and waterproofing (proposals due August 25, 2026, work commencing October 2026, completion February 2027), Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26284-MST for building-envelope water-intrusion identification and waterproofing repair (proposals due August 17, 2026, with 10 percent small-business-enterprise weighting), and the City of Tallahassee IFB for Senior Center waterproofing (bids due July 9, 2026, re-bid August 25, 2026). Contract sizes range from under $100,000 to $2 million-plus multi-trade renovation projects. Prevailing-wage, bonding, insurance, and site-security requirements are standard; Florida Building Code and OSHA compliance are universal. Several opportunities carry federal funding triggers (Davis-Bacon, FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance, GEFA) that impose additional compliance burdens.
