NIGP 63049: Paint, Automotive and Machinery

NIGP 63049 Paint, Automotive and Machinery, an Item code, encompasses vehicle paints, coatings, solvents, and related supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis to maintain transit fleets, municipal vehicles, and facilities. The code sees activity across transit authorities, municipal public works departments, state correctional systems, and local development authorities, with recent solicitations reflecting steady demand for paint systems, surface preparation materials, masking supplies, and specialty coatings compliant with air quality and safety standards. Work typically flows through blanket purchase orders and indefinite-quantity contracts rather than one-time projects, with vendors expected to deliver quickly (often within 48 hours to four business days) to multiple government facilities and maintain dedicated account support.

Recent opportunities span multiple regions and issuing bodies. The Orange County Transportation Authority (California) issued IFB 260505 on September 28, 2026 for vehicle paints and supplies with bids due October 26, 2026, estimated at $150,000 over two years with Davis-Bacon wage requirements and a DBE participation goal. The City of Gainesville Regional Transit System (Florida) solicited quotes for automotive paint and supplies (QRTSX2701, due June 22, 2026) and rebuilt-remanufactured air compressors (QRTSX2703, due June 24, 2026) on as-needed bases; the paint contract requires PPG authorization and runs through September 30, 2028 with an optional extension. The City of Charlotte (North Carolina) sought a bus paint vendor (26920262083, due June 8, 2026) for 112 line items under a three-year indefinite-quantity contract with two one-year renewal options, requiring 48-hour delivery and dedicated account support. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted blanket purchase order IW250291 (due July 14, 2026) for automotive paints through its Bonfire procurement portal. Typical procurement structures include F.O.B. Destination pricing, no trip or fuel surcharges, electronic invoicing, and insurance requirements of $1 million per occurrence for general liability and $500,000 to $1 million for automobile liability.
