NIGP 63066: Paints, Traffic

NIGP 63066 Traffic Paint, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of traffic paints, pavement markings, and related application services by state departments of transportation, city public works departments, county road divisions, airport authorities, and transit agencies. State and local governments buy ready-mixed waterborne and acrylic traffic paint in bulk containers (5-gallon buckets, 175-gallon and 275-gallon totes, 250-gallon totes), runway paint for airfield use, thermoplastic striping materials, and traffic paint supply truck assemblies with integrated hydraulic and marking equipment. Recent solicitations also reflect procurement of field application services—pressure cleaning, surface preparation, and maintenance painting of steel strain poles and mast arms at traffic signal sites—as well as broader traffic control and work zone safety consumables. The code draws activity from state transportation departments (South Dakota, Nevada, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma) issuing high-volume paint supply contracts, municipalities (Houston, Fort Myers, Temple, Wichita, Madison, Thomas County) procuring paints and application services for traffic maintenance, and county road divisions (San Mateo, Okaloosa, Pasco, Orange County in Florida, Washington County Oregon). Repeat buyers include the Texas Department of Transportation and Florida jurisdictions (Fort Myers, Pasco County, Orange County).

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Texas (multiple TxDOT districts, Houston, and City of Temple), Florida (Fort Myers, Pasco County, Orange County), and the upper Midwest and Mountain West (South Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Kansas, Wisconsin). Representative recent opportunities include the South Dakota Department of Transportation's IFB 26IFB19982 (due October 21, 2026) for a turnkey paint supply truck assembly on a provided chassis with flatbed, broom, message board, and hydraulic crash attenuator; the City of Houston's informal solicitation INF20260427 (due October 12, 2026) for black and yellow traffic paint in 275-gallon totes; the City of Fort Myers' ITB 26-103 (due November 6, 2026) for field pretreatment, surface preparation, and epoxy/acrylic polyurethane coating of eight traffic signal sites; and the Nevada Department of Transportation's open-term contract ITB 80DOT-S3845 (closed September 28, 2026) supplying 3,300 gallons of waterborne Type II paint in red, white, and yellow to Las Vegas and Tonopah yards. Many procurements leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles (Clackamas County through Oregon State Price Agreement, Purchasing Cooperative of America for traffic control) or incorporate federal funding and prevailing-wage requirements, particularly in transit, airport, and infrastructure contexts. Lead times typically compress to 14–21 days for emergency paint deliveries and extend to 120 days for complex equipment installations.
