NIGP 91461: Painting and Wallpapering

NIGP 91461 Painting and Wallpapering is an Item code. State and local governments buy exterior and interior painting, surface preparation, coating system application, pressure washing, and related wall finishing work under this code—primarily on building renovations, facility maintenance, specialized structures such as water tanks and traffic signal equipment, and park or recreational amenities. Recent solicitations span community colleges, state departments, cities, counties, housing authorities, and transit agencies across Washington, California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Florida, and Texas, indicating broad geographic dispersion and active pursuit across multiple issuing-body types. Representative recent opportunities include Highline College's Building 3 renovation (IFB 2026763G11, bids due November 18, 2026); the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County's miscellaneous coatings project at the J.G. Beacham Water Treatment Plant (BID #27017, estimated project cost $400,000 to $800,000, bids due November 18, 2026); Caltrans' painting and repair services at three maintenance stations in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties restricted to certified small businesses and disabled veteran businesses under IFPQ 08A4036 (quotes due October 26, 2026, $484,000 contract ceiling, prevailing wage required); and the City of Huntsville's half-million-gallon water storage tank restoration with complete interior and exterior recoating (Bid NO. 27-05, bids due October 27, 2026, 90-day performance period, Tnemec coating products specified).

Geographic activity clusters in California (coastal maintenance stations, Santa Clara County medical center projects, Solano County flood-mitigation asset protection), Washington (community college renovations across Highline, South Seattle, Everett, Big Bend, and Wenatchee Valley colleges), Georgia (Gwinnett County annual maintenance across 300-plus facilities, Athens-Clarke water treatment plant, state facilities including corrections centers and juvenile detention centers), Massachusetts (prevailing wage projects including courts, housing authorities, and municipalities), Texas (state supported living center dormitory work, City of Huntsville infrastructure), and Florida (municipal parks, utilities, and housing). Water-infrastructure coatings, building interior/exterior renovation, athletic court recoating, and facilities-maintenance painting emerge as dominant scope patterns. Set-asides and prevailing wage requirements appear frequently—California DBE/VetHUB requirements, Texas DSBE participation, Massachusetts MBE/WBE goals, and Davis-Bacon or state prevailing wage mandates on federally or state-funded projects shape bidding eligibility and cost structure across most solicitations.
