NIGP 63161: Paint, Masonry (to Include Silicate Paints), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 63161 Paint, Masonry (To Include Silicate Paints), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure commercial interior and exterior painting services, surface preparation, masonry work, and associated finishing across public facilities and capital projects. The scope includes pressure washing, drywall repair and texturing, wallpaper removal, trim work, metal surface treatment, concrete floor coating, and high-performance coatings on masonry block and other substrates. Issuing bodies include county facilities management divisions (Orange County, Florida), city public works and community development authorities (City of Madison, Wisconsin; City of Tybee Island, Georgia), and special-purpose districts managing public facilities. Recent solicitations range from fixed-scope building renovation projects to multi-year facilities management contracts covering interior and exterior painting across dozens of locations, with scopes extending to related trades such as gutter and soffit replacement, masonry restoration, and roofing work.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with one Wisconsin posting. Orange County, Florida has issued at least two separate RFQs for commercial interior and exterior painting services for facilities management—one five-year contract (Y26-155, posted March 25, 2026, response due March 24, 2026, estimating approximately 9.6 million square feet of painting work) and a second active solicitation (Y26-1008, posted June 2, 2026, response due July 7, 2026)—indicating sustained demand for multi-location painting services across county facilities. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin posted an RFB for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB #15051-0-2026-AH, posted June 29, 2026, due July 17, 2026) encompassing exterior surface preparation, painting, caulking, and gutter and fascia work with Davis-Bacon Act compliance and prevailing-wage requirements.
