NIGP 63072: Primers, Rust Inhibiting: Red Oxide, Zinc Chromate, etc.

NIGP 63072 Primers, Rust Inhibiting: Red Oxide, Zinc Chromate, Etc., Item, covers universal metal primers and similar rust-inhibiting coatings that state and local governments buy for infrastructure maintenance, equipment protection, and facility upkeep. Recent solicitations show Houston Public Works procuring one-gallon containers of universal metal primer for public works applications, indicating that municipalities use this code to source ready-to-apply protective coatings for metal surfaces across maintenance programs.

Houston Public Works has posted at least two recent opportunities under this code. Solicitation INF20260204 closed June 2, 2026, for PREP ALL UNIVERSAL METAL PRIMER V132 in one-gallon containers (gray), and solicitation INF20260228 closed June 19, 2026, also for the same primer formulation. Both were issued as informal bids (IFB/ITB-equivalent notices) on the BeaconBid procurement platform. The source material does not provide accessible quantity, pricing, delivery location, set-asides, or award criteria for either opportunity. Activity under this code in the recent-opportunities block is concentrated in Texas, specifically Houston; no opportunities from other jurisdictions or states appear in the available record.
