NIGP 23370: Metal Enameling Material

NIGP 23370 Metal Enameling Material is an Item code under which state and local governments procure protective metal finishes and finished metal products, specifically galvanized steel components and related protective coatings for durable goods and equipment. Recent solicitations show the code capturing procurement of galvanized finished steel pallets and protective metal surface treatments for heavy-duty operational use. Issuing bodies span county governments and consolidated city-county entities; Hillsborough County has posted at least one substantial solicitation under the code. The scope of work reflects practical application of metal enameling and galvanizing processes to extend asset life in maintenance operations, emergency response, and recreation programs rather than cosmetic finishing alone.

Hillsborough County, Florida, issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 5-ITB-26-00197) on March 13, 2026, for galvanized finished steel pallets meeting commercial-grade specifications (48-inch by 48-inch by 4.75-inch dimensions, 8,000-pound uniform floor capacity, galvanized finish, two-way fork entry, and minus-120 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit temperature rating) for delivery across Tampa and Valrico maintenance locations, with bids due April 3, 2026, at 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time; the estimated contract value for the two-year term was $70,264.60. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division posted Request for Bids No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, seeking arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies (a broader commodity category than metal enameling) for Parks and Recreation programs, with bids due February 25, 2026, at 2:30 P.M. Eastern Time; annual purchasing was estimated at $30,000 to $50,000. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with no apparent set-aside designations limiting bidder eligibility in either jurisdiction.
