NIGP 13579: Tile Sealant

NIGP 13579 Tile Sealant, an Item code, encompasses sealant materials and related application services that state and local governments procure for building maintenance, facility restoration, and protective coating work across county and municipal properties. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures not only tile sealant products themselves but also associated services including joint sealant removal and replacement, caulking, coatings application, and pressure washing — often bundled as comprehensive facility maintenance contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments and cooperative purchasing entities serving multiple jurisdictions. Seminole County, Florida, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative representing Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and thousands of other public entities across the United States and Canada) appear as active buyers in the recent opportunity set.

Seminole County, Florida, posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB #604483-22/LNF) on March 17, 2026, for term contract services in caulking, coatings, joint sealant, and pressure washing with a response deadline of February 1, 2023, structured as an initial three-year term with two successive one-year renewal options and a five-year warranty for installed joint sealants. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026, response deadline, though this solicitation appears misaligned with the tile sealant classification and may reflect data-source classification ambiguity. The geographic spread reflects activity in Florida and across a broad multi-state cooperative purchasing network centered in the upper Midwest, with additional solicitation channels through state procurement portals and cooperative procurement frameworks.
