NIGP 63520: Filter Pads, Paint Arrester

NIGP 63520 Filter Pads, Paint Arrester is an Item code covering consumable filtration and protective materials used in painting operations and surface preparation work. State and local governments procure these products as components of larger construction and maintenance projects where exterior painting, interior finishing, or industrial coating work generates overspray, dust, and particulate matter requiring capture and containment. The code reflects supplies that support compliance with environmental and workplace safety standards during painting and coating operations. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal development authorities, county maintenance operations, and city public works departments managing building renovations and asset preservation.

Recent solicitation activity is sparse. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin posted an RFB (Request for Bids) for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project on June 29, 2026, with bids due July 17, 2026, encompassing exterior painting, surface preparation, gutter and downspout installation, and related finish work where filter pads and paint arresters would be ancillary materials supplied by the winning contractor. A separate cooperative purchasing RFP issued by Sourcewell on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment, while not directly targeting filter pads or paint arresters, reflects broader state and local procurement activity in the Pacific Northwest (including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington) and Minnesota. Activity under NIGP 63520 itself remains limited in posted opportunities; filter pads and paint arresters typically appear as line items within broader RFBs for painting, renovation, or maintenance work rather than as standalone solicitations.
