NIGP 66527: Coatings, Protective for Plastics, etc.

NIGP 66527 Coatings, Protective For Plastics, Etc., an Item code, encompasses specialized protective coatings and surface treatments for plastic and composite materials, though state and local governments also apply this code to concrete and similar structures requiring protective finish systems. The scope of work includes exterior cleaning, surface preparation, crack repair, and application of high-performance coatings that meet environmental or structural durability standards. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipalities managing water infrastructure, with the City of Pembroke Pines, Florida serving as a recent example.

The City of Pembroke Pines posted an IFB (PSUT2505) on March 30, 2026 for exterior stripping, surface preparation, and protective coating of a 2.5-million-gallon pre-stressed concrete water storage tank, with a bid deadline of May 6, 2025, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for April 14, 2025. The work requires specialized coatings meeting environmental standards such as LEED v4.1 and WELL Building Standard, with specific approved products named in the technical requirements. The solicitation encourages local vendor participation through preferences for Pembroke Pines and Broward County vendors, as well as veteran-owned businesses. The contract includes Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, payment and performance bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value for awards exceeding $200,000, and a project timeline of 180 calendar days with an estimated June 10, 2025 start date.
