NIGP 63190: Thinners (Reducers): Alcohols, Aromatic Solvents, Esters, Ketones, Mineral Spirits, Turpentine, V M and P Naphtha, etc., Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 63190 Thinners (Reducers): Alcohols, Aromatic Solvents, Esters, Ketones, Mineral Spirits, Turpentine, V M And P Naphtha, Etc., Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code covering solvent and reducer products used in maintenance, painting, and marine operations by state and local agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring these materials as part of broader general maintenance, repair, and supply contracts where thinners and reducers appear as line items within larger mixed-commodity requests. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner procured painting supplies including epoxy primers and reducers through an IFB solicitation, and San Antonio Independent School District has repeatedly posted continuous, open-ended RFPs for general maintenance services, parts, repairs, and supplies where chemical reducers and solvents are included as consumable inventory items necessary for district-wide facility upkeep.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and California, with San Antonio Independent School District issuing five separate rolling RFPs between May and October 2026 across Bexar County and the Savannah CDP, and the County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner soliciting marine hardware and painting supplies including reducers in Corona del Mar, California through an IFB posted June 22, 2026 with a bid due date of April 16, 2026. The Orange County contract is structured as a firm fixed-fee arrangement with a three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewal periods, incorporating a cooperative purchasing provision available to other municipal, county, educational, and nonprofit organizations, and offering five percent price evaluation preferences for Certified County of Orange Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise bidders. San Antonio ISD's continuous open-ended solicitations explicitly disclaim guaranteed minimum work volume and are contingent on district funding availability, indicating flexible, as-needed procurement patterns typical of school district maintenance operations.
