NIGP 63010: Coatings, Protective, Polyurethane, etc.

NIGP 63010 Coatings, Protective, Polyurethane, Etc., an Item code, covers protective surface treatments applied to structural steel, galvanized steel, concrete, masonry, and ferrous metals in flood mitigation, water infrastructure, and asset-protection projects. State and local governments procure these coatings through sealed bids and RFPs issued by county departments of general services, municipal water districts, and other capital-project agencies. Application encompasses interior and exterior surfaces both above and below grade, with specified dry film thickness ranging from 4.0 to 36.0 mils depending on the system and substrate condition. Contractors must meet surface-preparation standards set by the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC), manage application under controlled environmental conditions (temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, humidity below eighty-five percent), and supply EPA-compliant hazardous-materials handling. Named suppliers on recent solicitations include TNEMEC Company, Inc., Xypex Chemical Corporation, and Chemprobe Technologies, Inc., with equivalents subject to engineer approval. Bonding and small-business set-asides apply when federal funding—particularly FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance or BABA Act compliance for domestic sourcing—underwrites the projects.

Recent activity concentrates in California, where the County of Solano, Department of General Services posted a sealed-bid solicitation on October 6, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for Asset Protection—Painting and Coating on the Fairfield Justice Campus, addressing multiple county properties as part of a multi-prime flood-mitigation structure, and West Basin Municipal Water District issued a sealed-bid RFB for the Title 22 Filters 1, 5, and 10 Rehabilitation and Replacement Project in May 2026 (bid opening scheduled for May 7, 2026). Both solicitations require vendor certification and Build America, Buy America compliance, with small-business enterprise and local-business enterprise preferences noted.
