NIGP 63045 Paint and Varnish Removers (Includes Painted Graffiti Removers) is an Item code covering paint removal and stripping products, including specialized graffiti removal compounds, plus the painting supplies and tools that state and local governments procure to support graffiti abatement, facility maintenance, and asset preservation work.

Issuing bodies include city public works and procurement offices, county facilities-management divisions, regional transit authorities, and community development agencies. The District of Columbia Department of Public Works, City of Gainesville Regional Transit System, Orange County Florida, and the Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin have posted opportunities in the recent period.
