NIGP 54507: Can Crusher, Industrial (Paint, etc.)

NIGP 54507 Can Crusher, Industrial (Paint, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses paint and paint supplies procurement for operational and maintenance use across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buying under this code source interior and exterior latex paints, industrial alkyd and oil-based enamels, direct-to-metal coatings, elastomeric wall coatings, primers, sealers, specialty coatings, traffic and field marking paints, caulks, sealants, paint sundries, and spray equipment on an as-needed basis for city departments, water resources facilities, schools, and housing authorities. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Fort Worth), county governments (Gwinnett County), school districts (Donna ISD), and special-purpose development authorities (Community Development Authority of Madison). Paint and supplies contracts typically require vendors to meet specified manufacturer standards, maintain a minimum five-year sales history in the category, deliver within standard business hours, guarantee new stock with full warranties, and accept multi-year terms with renewal options.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southeast, with representative opportunities including the City of Fort Worth's RFP for non-exclusive paint supply agreements due August 6, 2026, requiring 30 percent small business participation in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' competitive sealed bid for solids dewatering and thickening polymer (a chemical supplies component within the broader industrial category) due July 30, 2026; the Community Development Authority of Madison's request for bids on the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project due July 17, 2026, under Davis-Bacon Act compliance; and Donna ISD's catalog bid for paint and supplies (RFP 011326-891) for the 2026-2027 school year. Contracts typically evaluate on best-value criteria combining cost, small business utilization, vendor experience, delivery capability, and local-preference factors, with initial terms of one year and renewal options extending up to five additional years.
