NIGP 85575: Stage Hardware and Supplies: Braces, Canvas, Clamps, Paints, etc.

NIGP 85575 Stage Hardware and Supplies: Braces, Canvas, Clamps, Paints, Etc., an Item code, encompasses exterior painting, caulking, and associated surface preparation and protective coating materials for building maintenance and renovation projects procured by state and local government entities. The code captures both the paint, caulking, and finishing materials themselves and the hardware supplies required for installation and application — gutters, downspouts, fascia bracing, and related fixtures that support the cosmetic and protective finishes on municipal, county, and special-purpose buildings. Issuing bodies under this code include city development authorities, county facilities departments, municipal public works offices, and special-purpose districts managing public housing or mixed-use facilities.

The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, posted RFB #1505102026 on June 29, 2026, for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project with a July 17, 2026 response deadline. The solicitation encompasses exterior painting, caulking, removal and installation of seamless gutters and downspouts, soffit and fascia replacement, and site cleanup — a representative scope that demonstrates how state and local agencies bundle painting supplies and stage hardware within broader exterior renovation contracts. The project is subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing-wage compliance and requires bidders to provide proof of commercial general liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability, and workers' compensation coverage. Contractors must submit lump-sum bids electronically with product specifications, manufacturer information, and references. A site visit was available through July 3, 2026, with questions due that same date and answers posted by July 6, 2026. Geographic activity under the code is concentrated in the Upper Midwest, with Wisconsin representing the documented recent opportunity.
