NIGP 13538: Grout Sealer

NIGP 13538 Grout Sealer is an Item code that covers grout sealing compounds and related products applied to concrete or masonry joints. State and local governments procure grout sealer for facility maintenance, repair, and new construction at correctional facilities, administrative buildings, and infrastructure projects.

The scope of work involves supplying grout sealer in accordance with detailed specifications, typically as part of broader concrete and grout procurement packages for ongoing facility upkeep and capital projects.

The most recent activity concentrated in Georgia, where the Georgia Department of Corrections issued two RFQs for concrete and grout supplies at Dooly State Prison in Douglas County with response dates of August 19, 2026 and September 8, 2026. Both solicitations required electronic submission in PDF format through the GA@Work Marketplace and specified strict bid-response formatting with rejection of bids containing compliance language such as "comply," "yes," or checkmarks. The August 19 RFQ was a one-time buy, and the September 8 RFQ required all attachments to accompany the bid response; the Issuing Officer was Courtney.Banks@gdc.ga.gov, with technical support available through State Purchasing Customer Service at 404-657-6000 or ProcurementHelp@doas.ga.gov. No other state or local grout sealer opportunities appear in the recent record.
