NIGP 31555: Coatings, Special, Abrasion and Chemical Resistant

NIGP 31555 Coatings, Special, Abrasion And Chemical Resistant is an Item code under which state and local governments procure protective coating systems for infrastructure surfaces exposed to chemical, abrasion, or immersion conditions — including epoxy, resinous, and specialized industrial coating products applied to steel, concrete, masonry, and equipment. The scope spans repair and rehabilitation projects at water treatment facilities, schools, and other public buildings where coating performance must withstand operational environments. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities departments, county water authorities, and large school districts purchasing both materials and installation labor.
