NIGP 90511: Aircraft Painting Services

NIGP 90511 Aircraft Painting Services is an Item code encompassing protective paint and coatings services for government-owned aircraft and aerial infrastructure, though state and local procurement under this code spans a broader range of protective coating and painting work including utility infrastructure, building exteriors, and specialized field-applied systems. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying aircraft maintenance and support services that incorporate anti-corrosion and painting work as part of comprehensive fleet management; protective coatings for aerial water and wastewater transmission mains and interconnect systems; and general exterior painting and coating work on public facilities. The issuing bodies include state departments (Florida Department of Law Enforcement), county governments (Collier County, Hillsborough County), municipal entities (City of Madison), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative operates as a cooperative vehicle pooling demand across multiple jurisdictions, with an estimated expenditure of $10,293,143 over two years for paint and painting supplies through its successor bid.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and across the greater purchasing cooperative network.
