NIGP 19090: Solvents (Not Otherwise Itemized)

NIGP 19090 Solvents (Not Otherwise Itemized), an Item code, covers specialty solvents that state and local governments procure for specific operational and maintenance applications—in recent activity, primarily asphalt-related extraction and release agents used in road maintenance and construction. The City of Philadelphia issued back-to-back micro purchases in early July 2026 for asphalt extraction solvent and asphalt release agent, both at $45,000 ceilings, indicating that municipal public works and transportation departments are the primary buyers under this code. Cities are the dominant issuing body in recent solicitations; the scope remains narrow and specialized, tied to maintenance of infrastructure assets rather than broad industrial or commercial chemical supply.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia posted both the asphalt extraction solvent quote (Solicitation B2727411, due July 15, 2026) and asphalt release agent quote (Solicitation B2727408, due July 15, 2026) as micro purchases using lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder evaluation, with FOB Destination Point delivery, 365-day terms, and annual CPI-U adjustments from January 1, 2020. Both solicitations required quotes through the PHLContracts eProcurement platform, a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement, and standard insurance—workers' compensation at statutory limits, general liability at $500,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability at $300,000 per occurrence. Quotes remain valid for 60 days, and the City reserved the right to award as a whole or by line item.
