NIGP 31590: Resins (Epoxy Only)

NIGP 31590 Resins (Epoxy Only), an Item code, encompasses epoxy-based flooring systems and materials that state and local governments procure for specialized facility applications — primarily aircraft hangar rehabilitation, institutional flooring in school systems, and infrastructure repair. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating epoxy as a component within larger flooring or infrastructure projects rather than as a standalone commodity purchase, with emphasis on high-performance, multi-layer systems designed to withstand heavy loads, chemical exposure, or demanding operational environments. Issuing bodies include county capital projects departments, large school districts managing multi-facility flooring programs, and municipal utilities performing infrastructure rehabilitation. Beaufort County Capital Projects solicited RFP proposals for epoxy resurfacing of a 7,500-square-foot aircraft hangar floor system, requiring contractors to demonstrate prior experience with resinous flooring in heavy industrial or aviation environments. Hillsborough County Public Schools, the seventh-largest school system with 235 schools and approximately 225,000 students, released ITB 26190-MST covering epoxy decorative quartz resinous flooring as one of seven flooring categories alongside carpet, vinyl, and tile, with encouragement for Small Business Enterprise, minority-owned, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned business participation.

Geographic activity is concentrated in South Carolina and Florida based on recent postings. Beaufort County, South Carolina, posted its hangar floor resurfacing RFP in September 2026 with a July 8, 2026 response date, requiring submission through pre-proposal meetings (non-mandatory, June 17, 2026) and site visits (non-mandatory, June 30, 2026). Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida released ITB 26190-MST with an August 6, 2026 bid deadline, requiring electronic submission through www.myvendorlink.com and product specifications for departmental review. A separate Dallas County wastewater rehabilitation procurement posted in May 2026 included resinous materials as potential components within a broader trenchless pipeline infrastructure project, though the primary focus was concrete pipe rehabilitation rather than epoxy flooring systems. School districts appear to consolidate epoxy purchasing within multi-category flooring ITBs to manage institutional facility maintenance across multiple buildings.
