NIGP 63003: Additives and Miscellaneous Paint Ingredients: Driers, Fungicides, Latexes, Pigments, Surfactants, etc.

NIGP 63003 Additives and Miscellaneous Paint Ingredients (Driers, Fungicides, Latexes, Pigments, Surfactants, Etc.), an Item code, covers paint-related materials and components that state and local governments procure, though recent opportunities in this dataset show the code functioning primarily as a vehicle for painting services and graffiti abatement rather than bulk paint additives or raw pigment ingredients. School districts, county public works, and county service departments are the active issuing bodies. Cobb County School District, Georgia, has posted multiple RFPs for turnkey interior and exterior painting services at district facilities on an as-needed basis (RFP P27032, due November 10, 2026). San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department issued an RFP for comprehensive graffiti abatement services across unincorporated areas (LUSD26LUS6401, due June 3, 2026), specifying removal from diverse surfaces including wood, metal, stucco, brick, and concrete using specialized high-pressure equipment and requiring 24/7 availability with 48-hour response times. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, issued a bid for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB #15051-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026), subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing-wage compliance.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, California, and Wisconsin. The County of Orange, California, OC Public Works, issued an IFB for glass reflective spheres and beads (IFB0803059401EL, due September 10, 2026), a commodity-level procurement distinct from services—specifying 50-pound bags, 550-pound fiber drums, and 2,200-pound totes compliant with California Department of Transportation Specification 8010-004 and AASHTO M247 Type 2 standards, with a three-year contract ceiling of $225,000 and a 5% local-vendor preference for County of Orange Local Small Business certified bidders. That solicitation also qualifies as a cooperative purchasing vehicle extendable to other municipalities, counties, public utilities, hospitals, educational institutions, and non-profits. Recent activity under this code shows a blend of painter and surface-restoration services alongside materials procurement, with school districts and county departments as primary buyers and California and Georgia as current hotspots.
