NIGP 05023: Coatings, Protective (for Artwork)

NIGP 05023 Coatings, Protective (For Artwork) is an Item code covering protective coatings and finishes applied to artwork and art materials used by state and local government agencies, primarily school districts and municipal facilities management departments. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying art supply packages that include protective coatings as components of broader art materials procurement, as well as specialized protective coating services for infrastructure assets such as water storage tanks and painted surfaces across municipal facilities. The code captures both commodity purchases—protective mediums bundled within art supply contracts—and service-based coating application work performed on government assets requiring surface protection and preservation.

School districts across Florida dominate recent activity under this code. The School Board of Polk County, Florida (IFB 038RW0426, posted April 6, 2026, due April 21, 2026) procured 157 line items of art materials including acrylic, watercolor, and tempera paints with ceramic glazes and drawing implements for delivery to the district warehouse in Bartow.

Beyond school procurement, Orange County, Florida (Y26-1008, posted June 2, 2026, due July 7, 2026) solicited commercial interior and exterior painting services for facilities management across multiple County and City of Orlando facilities, requiring electronic submission through the OpenGov platform. A prior Orange County solicitation (Y26-155, posted March 25, 2026) estimated five-year painting requirements of approximately 9.6 million square feet of work.
