NIGP 63520: Filter Pads, Paint Arrester

NIGP 63520 Filter Pads, Paint Arrester (Item) covers paint arrestor and related filtration materials that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and construction projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring these materials as components of larger renovation, painting, and facility-upgrade projects where paint containment and air quality compliance are required.

The issuing-body mix spans school districts, county governments, city authorities, and special-purpose districts. The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida issued an ITB #26-0130 for HVAC filter replacement services across 45 school facilities (due January 6, 2026), specifying antimicrobial polyester pads and MERV 13-rated filters as part of a comprehensive six-times-annual filter-change program covering 28,832 filter units annually. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin solicited bids on the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (due July 17, 2026) under Davis-Bacon Act compliance, with exterior painting and surface preparation as core scope. Santa Clara County, California posted an ITB for Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements (due April 23, 2026), which included thermoplastic traffic striping and roadway safety infrastructure work. Activity appears concentrated in the upper Midwest and coastal states, with Wisconsin, California, and Florida represented in recent postings. The Sarasota County school district opportunity represents the most direct match to paint-arrester and filtration-pad procurement, with specific material types (antimicrobial polyester pads, MERV-rated filters) called out; the Madison painting project and Santa Clara county guardrail work indicate secondary applications where paint containment and dust control may be incidental to larger construction or infrastructure scope.
