NIGP 63162: Paint, Rust Preventative, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 63162 Paint, Rust Preventative, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit exterior and interior painting services for facilities maintenance and capital projects, including surface preparation, rust treatment, caulking, gutter work, and specialized coatings for infrastructure such as water and wastewater pipes. Recent solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies—county facilities management departments, city housing authorities, and special-purpose infrastructure districts—purchasing both routine maintenance painting and specialized protective coatings. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, and Orange County, Florida, are the most active repeat buyers in the recent opportunity block, with Orange County issuing multiple notices for comprehensive interior and exterior painting services across county and city facilities. Scope includes surface preparation (pressure washing, rust and scale removal, drywall repair), application of lead- and mercury-free paints with manufacturer approval (Sherwin-Williams is commonly preferred), and extended warranties covering paint failure, peeling, blistering, and installation defects. Bidders typically must carry commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 or higher per occurrence, maintain painter staff at specified minimums, and comply with prevailing-wage and Davis-Bacon requirements on public housing projects.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Orange County and Collier County) and Wisconsin, with recent opportunities spanning facilities management contracts covering millions of square feet of paintable surface over multi-year terms. Representative opportunities include Orange County's five-year commercial interior and exterior painting services contract (Y26-155, IFB, due March 24, 2026) covering approximately 9.6 million square feet with a 54-line-item fee schedule and Service Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise preference of 3–8 percent; the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison's Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB #15051-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026) requiring Davis-Bacon compliance and gutter and soffit work alongside exterior painting; and Collier County's Aerial Crossings Pipe Painting Services (Quick Quote, due March 12, 2026) covering specialized rust removal and colored protective coatings on 12 county water and wastewater pipes at seven locations. Electronic submission via e-procurement platforms (OpenGov, county online bidding systems) is now standard, with mandatory site visits common for larger or specialized projects.
