NIGP 63545: Paint and Varnish Removing Equipment

NIGP 63545 Paint and Varnish Removing Equipment, an Item code, encompasses surface-preparation services and equipment rental for exterior and interior paint removal, stripping, and related preparation work on municipal facilities, multifamily housing, and county-owned buildings. State and local governments procure paint and varnish removal as part of broader facility renovation and maintenance contracts where preparation work precedes repainting or refinishing. Issuing bodies include municipal development authorities managing public housing stock, county facilities management departments, and city public works divisions. The work is typically solicited through competitive sealed bids (RFB) or RFP processes and often carries prevailing-wage requirements such as Davis-Bacon Act compliance, particularly on federal or community development projects.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Wisconsin and Florida. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin posted an RFB on June 29, 2026 (due July 17, 2026) for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project, which included exterior surface preparation and paint removal as part of a broader facade renovation; the contract term does not exceed two months and is subject to Davis-Bacon Act requirements and Affirmative Action Plan filing for contractors with 15 or more employees. Orange County, Florida solicited commercial interior and exterior painting services for facilities management (Y26-1008) with a response deadline of July 7, 2026 via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform, with questions due June 16, 2026; the scope covered multiple Orange County and City of Orlando facilities.
