NIGP 54510: Coating Machines, All Types

NIGP 54510 Coating Machines, All Types is an Item code covering equipment and machinery used to apply protective and decorative coatings to surfaces and structures. State and local governments solicit coating machinery primarily through municipal utilities and law enforcement procurement channels, though the recent opportunities block shows limited direct equipment solicitations; instead, jurisdictions more commonly post for coating services — exterior surface preparation and application work on infrastructure like water storage tanks — rather than for the machines themselves. Where coating-equipment solicitations do emerge, they typically flow through cooperative purchasing frameworks that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types, expanding vendor reach while standardizing terms.

The most recent activity includes a Sourcewell RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) on behalf of its Participating Entities to establish law enforcement equipment contracting solutions available to governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, and a City of Pembroke Pines IFB (#PSUT-25-05, due May 6, 2025) for exterior stripping, repair, and specialized coating of a 2.5-million-gallon pre-stressed concrete water storage tank with an estimated 180-calendar-day project timeline starting June 10, 2025. Activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with Sourcewell drawing multi-state participation across Washington, Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties, and the Pembroke Pines opportunity rooted in South Florida municipal infrastructure. The code sees sparse direct machinery procurement; vendors pursuing state and local activity under this code should monitor cooperative-purchasing RFPs and infrastructure-focused municipal bids where coating application work may require specialized equipment procurement.
