NIGP 66590: Thermoset Plastics

NIGP 66590 Thermostat Plastics, an Item code, encompasses resinous flooring systems and epoxy coating applications that state and local governments procure for facility floor refinishing and industrial-grade surface protection. The scope of work involves field-applied resinous materials including epoxy coatings, moisture vapor treatment, primer systems, pigmented topcoats with aggregate flakes, grout coats, and complementary installations such as rubber cove base and safety markings. State departments and regional transportation authorities issue these procurements as IFBs and RFPs to qualified flooring and painting contractors holding appropriate state licensing. The work typically targets equipment facilities, maintenance shops, and high-traffic institutional spaces requiring durable, chemically resistant, or slip-resistant floor systems.

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has posted recent activity under this code. Caltrans Division of Procurement and Contracts issued IFB 32A0707 in March 2026 for concrete floor refinishing services at the District 32 Equipment Sub Shop in San Jose, California, with a response deadline of April 16, 2026, and estimated award of April 23, 2026. The scope included application of a resinous flooring system with safety markings to approximately 1,400 square feet, mechanical surface preparation, moisture testing and treatment, multiple coating layers, and installation of rubber cove base across 400 linear feet, with work to be completed within 60 business days. The solicitation carried a $461,000 lump-sum bid ceiling and incorporated a 25 percent small business participation goal and a 3 percent disabled veteran business enterprise participation requirement, with a mandatory site inspection scheduled for April 8, 2026.
