NIGP 91464: Plastering

NIGP 91464 Plastering, an Item code, encompasses the repair, restoration, and replacement of interior and exterior plaster finishes on state and local government buildings. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for historic plaster restoration with conservation adhesives, plaster stabilization work, and associated painting and finishing—scopes distinct from general drywall or interior remodeling but often bundled within broader building renovation projects. The code draws activity from Washington State agencies (particularly the Department of Enterprise Services, which procures on behalf of community colleges and state facilities), municipal housing authorities, county facilities, school districts, and independent state colleges. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, social and health services, labor and industries, and enterprise services; county courthouses; city housing authorities; and a diverse portfolio of public community colleges and technical colleges across Washington. Several Washington community colleges—Skagit Valley College, Bellevue College, Tacoma Community College, Olympic College, and others—appear repeatedly in recent bids for campus building upgrades where plaster restoration or interior finishing work accompanies larger renovation initiatives.

Recent opportunities show plaster-related work embedded within larger mixed-trades construction procurements rather than as standalone plastering contracts. The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda released a narrower-scope IFB for water damage restoration at Independent Plaza (703 and 711 Atlantic Avenue) due August 5, 2026, requiring drywall (Type X), insulation, flooring, bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, and miscellaneous finishes under prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon Act requirements, with a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit on July 23, 2026. The City of Framingham, Massachusetts posted an IFB #9040 for historic plaster repair and painting at the Old Edgell Library with bids due June 4, 2026, encompassing preservation and reproduction of line-based plasters, stabilization with conservation adhesives, and painting. Most plaster activity appears in Washington State, concentrated among campus and state facilities procurements, with secondary activity in California (Alameda), Massachusetts (Framingham), Wisconsin (Portage County courthouse), and Georgia (DeKalb County). Plaster work in this dataset typically appears as one trade within multi-trade building renovation packages managed by the Washington Department of Enterprise Services on behalf of community colleges and state agencies, suggesting that standalone plastering contracts are less common than integration into general contractor scopes under prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.
