NIGP 63076: Putty: Lacquer, Plumbers, Tape

NIGP 63076 Putty: Lacquer, Plumbers, Tape is an Item code covering finishing materials and adhesives used in construction, renovation, and maintenance work by state and local governments. The code captures lacquer putty for wood finishing, plumber's putty for sealing and fixture installation, and specialty tapes used in construction and repair. State and local jurisdictions procure these materials as consumables and as line items within larger renovation, construction, and fleet-maintenance projects. Issuing bodies include municipalities (cities and towns), transit authorities, and other local agencies conducting capital projects or routine maintenance. The materials are typically sourced through competitive bidding processes as part of broader construction or supplies contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases.

Recent activity shows the code appearing in mixed-scope construction and maintenance projects across the Northeast and Southeast. The Town of Waterford, Connecticut issued IFB 26011 in September 2026 for police department locker room renovations (bids due October 15, 2026), where putty and finishing materials would support plumbing fixture installation, wall tile work, and general construction finishes. The City of Charlotte issued RFQ 26920262083A in June 2026 for bus paint and related materials (proposals due July 17, 2026) supporting transit fleet maintenance, where specialized coatings and prep materials apply to vehicle finishing. Both solicitations emphasize OEM-approved products and current production materials with full safety and usage documentation. Geographic spread includes Connecticut and North Carolina with scattered activity; the code does not show concentration in a single region or among repeat buyers in recent postings.
