NIGP 90511: Aircraft Painting Services

NIGP 90511 Aircraft Painting Services is an Item code covering painting, coating, and surface preparation work on aircraft. Recent state and local solicitations reveal that the code encompasses exterior painting on fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, including anti-corrosion services and related surface maintenance as part of broader aircraft maintenance and support contracts. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement solicited aircraft painting and coating services as a component of a larger fleet maintenance engagement covering scheduled maintenance, inspections, repairs, and alterations on a mixed fleet of Cessna fixed wing aircraft, King Air 350s, and Bell rotary wing helicopters. Beyond aircraft-specific work, the code also captures painting services on residential and commercial structures when those projects include siding or related exterior surface work — the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison recently solicited exterior painting, gutter installation, and fascia replacement on a residential apartment project. Issuing bodies under this code span state departments and municipal agencies; the source shows activity from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the City of Madison Community Development Authority.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and Wisconsin based on recent opportunities. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on May 5, 2026, for fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft maintenance and support services, including anti-corrosion and painting work, with responses due July 28, 2026, at 2:30 PM Eastern Time; evaluation is scheduled for August 4–18, 2026, with intended award on September 29, 2026. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, posted an RFB on June 29, 2026, for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project with bids due July 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CST; Davis-Bacon Act compliance and prevailing-wage requirements apply to the Madison project. The Florida procurement expects five-year contract terms with optional one-year renewals; the Madison project scope is limited to two months unless extended in writing.
