NIGP 63056: Paint, House and Trim

NIGP 63056 Paint, House and Trim is an Item code covering exterior and interior architectural coatings—paints, stains, sealers, primers, and related finishing materials—for building surfaces, structures, and site infrastructure. State and local governments procure this code for scheduled maintenance and capital projects at facilities, schools, transportation infrastructure, and public buildings, as well as for stockpiling by agencies managing distributed maintenance operations. Recent solicitations show a mix of commodity supply contracts (bulk paint for inventory), project-specific painting services, and traffic-marking applications where specialized water-based and thermoplastic formulations replace traditional house paint.

Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation (Caltrans, UDOT, TDCJ), county governments (Wasatch, Orange, Santa Clara, Sarasota), cities (Salem, Pembroke Pines, Madison), school districts (Donna ISD, Pembroke Pines Charter), and transit authorities (MBTA via MAPC). State procurement offices dominate the recent activity, reflecting high-volume maintenance and capital-project demand. Caltrans is a standout repeat buyer, posting multiple small-business-set-aside painting and coating projects across California counties. Wasatch County (Utah) issued an ITB for traffic-marking paint (August 11, 2026 response due) covering pavement messages and centerline markings at four locations, requiring 2,043 gallons of paint, three years' comparable project experience, and performance bonds. Orange County, Florida solicited interior and exterior painting services for facilities on an as-needed basis (responses due July 7, 2026) with specifications for 7.8 million square feet of work over five years and 10-painter minimum staffing. Sarasota County sought interior and exterior painting contractors for county facilities on an as-needed basis under a three-year IFB (July 15, 2026 deadline). The City of Madison's Community Development Authority bid a Karabis Apartments painting and siding project (July 17, 2026) subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and Affirmative Action Plan filing. The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) coordinated a roadway paint and thermoplastic-markings procurement for seven Massachusetts municipalities and the MBTA (March 27, 2026 deadline) with an estimated value of $4.48 million covering line painting, resin bonded aggregate, and specialized markings. Illinois Secretary of State sought painting supplies vendors for a multi-year contract (April 9, 2026 deadline), and Donna Independent School District issued a catalog-bid RFP for paint and supplies (April 8, 2026). Geographic activity is concentrated in California (Caltrans projects across Alpine, El Dorado, Nevada, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Tulare counties), Florida (Orange and Sarasota counties), and Utah (Wasatch County, UDOT statewide), with secondary activity in Massachusetts, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Wisconsin. The recent mix tilts toward services (painting labor and application) over commodity supply, though state-level purchasing offices continue stocking operational paint inventory through RFQs and multi-year supply agreements. Small-business set-asides are prevalent in California transportation work; prevailing wage applies to public works above state thresholds; and DVBE or local-vendor preferences appear in Florida, California, and certain municipal procurements.
