Cardio Floor Protection Mats Supply

The contract calls for the supply of industrial-grade, non-slip, moisture-resistant cardio floor protection mats designed specifically to safeguard flooring in correctional facilities from damage caused by heavy fitness equipment used in inmate exercise programs. These mats must meet stringent durability standards to withstand constant heavy use, resist water and sweat absorption, and provide reliable traction under wet or high-traffic conditions, ensuring both facility integrity and user safety. The products must be suitable for long-term use in institutional environments where maintenance access is limited and resilience is critical. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the Department of Corrections in Kentucky, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, and was posted on July 31, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 326299 identifies the work as pertaining to other rubber product manufacturing, indicating the mats are custom-engineered rubber composites rather than standard commercial products. Performance of the contract is expected to occur across multiple correctional facilities within the state, with no specific location designated other than “Other.” Interested vendors must submit proposals through the Kentucky Advantage 4 portal prior to the deadline, and all materials must comply with the functional and safety requirements outlined in the procurement without explicit set-aside provisions for small or disadvantaged businesses.
