NIGP 36005: Adhesive, Cement and Mastic

NIGP Item 36005 Adhesive, Cement And Mastic covers the adhesives, cements, mastics, and bonding compounds that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, construction, repair, and infrastructure work. State and local agencies purchase these materials in bulk for ongoing maintenance operations, capital projects, and emergency repairs across facilities ranging from office buildings and schools to water infrastructure and transportation assets. Buying patterns include standard construction adhesives, epoxy compounds, caulking mastics, concrete bonding agents, and tile or flooring adhesives used by maintenance crews and contractors. The issuing bodies span state facility management departments, county public works and maintenance divisions, municipalities and city public services departments, independent school districts managing building stock, and transit authorities maintaining vehicles and infrastructure.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code, limiting the ability to characterize current geographic concentration or name representative recent solicitations. Absence of posted activity does not indicate lack of procurement — adhesive and mastic purchases often occur through standing contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements, or local vendors below formal RFP thresholds — but does signal that competitive opportunities under this code may be infrequent or bundled into broader facilities or maintenance RFPs at present.
