NIGP 03582: Taxiway and Runway Testing Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 03582 Taxiway and Runway Testing Equipment and Supplies, an Item code, encompasses marking paint, ground support equipment, and specialized airfield systems that state and local airport authorities procure to maintain and operate runway and taxiway surfaces. Recent solicitations show municipalities and airport systems buying runway and taxiway marking paint, aircraft ground-handling equipment such as plane skates, and runway equipment with related services. Issuing bodies include airport authorities operated by cities (Houston Airport System, City of Lubbock), county and municipal jurisdictions, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell that aggregate demand across multiple member public entities.

The code shows activity across Texas and Minnesota, with the Houston Airport System and the City of Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport (Lubbock) representing recent municipal airport procurements. Representative opportunities include the City of Lubbock's ITB 2619958AE for runway and taxiway marking paint, due October 22, 2026; the Houston Airport System's INF20260214 for 1/2" welded steel 70K aircraft skates for ground handling and maintenance operations, due June 5, 2026; and Sourcewell's cooperative RFP 26RFP090826 for runway equipment and specialized airfield systems with related services, due September 8, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. Sourcewell solicitations establish contracting solutions available to participating member entities rather than single-agency awards, making them relevant for vendors seeking multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing exposure.
