NIGP 54507 Can Crusher, Industrial (Paint, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses paint, painting supplies, and related industrial coatings that state and local governments procure for maintenance, construction, and water-resource operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring interior and exterior latex paints, industrial alkyd and oil-based enamels, direct-to-metal coatings, elastomeric wall coatings, primers, sealers, specialty coatings, traffic marking paints, caulks, sealants, and paint sundries on both standing-supply and project-specific bases. The issuing bodies include city governments, county boards, water authorities, and regional purchasing cooperatives. The City of Fort Worth and the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, have issued RFPs for paint and painting supplies; the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, serving multiple jurisdictions, solicited catalog discount bids on paint and painting supplies; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has solicited solids dewatering and thickening polymer for water reclamation facilities.
