NIGP 85048: Fabrics, Coated and Impregnated (Not Ticking)

NIGP 85048 Fabrics, Coated And Impregnated (Not Ticking), an Item code, encompasses marine-grade and industrial coated textiles that state and local governments procure for repair, replacement, and custom fabrication of waterproof and weather-resistant applications. The code captures demand for materials and services including bimini covers, boat covers, fire extinguisher covers, seat covers, tarps, side curtains, and associated zipper repairs used by law enforcement, maritime operations, and public-safety agencies. Issuing bodies include county sheriffs' departments and other county agencies responsible for harbor patrol and marine operations. The procurement market under this code operates on time-and-material labor arrangements with tiered hourly rates for standard and after-hours work, requiring vendors to hold state contractor licenses, comprehensive general liability and automobile liability insurance, and workers' compensation coverage.

The County of Orange, California, Sheriff-Coroner posted an IFB (Solicitation MA06026010722SC) in March 2026 for repair and replacement of canvas and marine articles supporting Harbor Patrol operations at Corona Del Mar, Dana Point, and Sunset Beach, with proposals due February 6, 2026. The solicitation included a five-percent preference for County of Orange Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certified bidders, with a maximum preference deduction of $100,000, and awarded a three-year contract term with potential for two additional one-year renewals. California appears to be the primary recent jurisdiction posting under this code; the source does not indicate activity in other states.
