NIGP 96231: Electrostatic Painting

NIGP 96231 Electrostatic Painting, an Item code, encompasses exterior and interior surface preparation, painting, and protective coating application for public facilities and infrastructure. State and local governments procure electrostatic painting services primarily as part of larger facility maintenance and renovation projects — the recent opportunities show painting as a component of comprehensive O&M contracts for administrative buildings, apartment complexes, and public parks where surface preparation, coating application, caulking, and finish work protect assets from weathering and extend operational life. Issuing bodies across the code span state departments of transportation and aviation, city community development authorities, municipal park departments, and county facilities management offices. The work is typically bundled within broader facility improvement or preventive maintenance contracts rather than solicited as standalone electrostatic services.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. The Georgia Department of Aviation solicited comprehensive O&M services for the Aviation Administration Center in Fulton County, Georgia, under IFB with a due date of July 10, 2026, which includes facility painting and coating maintenance as part of integrated facility management. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, issued RFB #15051-0-2026-AH for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project on June 29, 2026, with bids due July 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST, specifying exterior surface preparation, painting, caulking, and soffit and fascia replacement under Davis-Bacon Act compliance. A City of DeBary, Florida irrigation improvement project from April 2026 demonstrates how painting services appear in mixed-scope municipal infrastructure work. No standalone electrostatic painting contracts emerged in the recent opportunities block; the code's activity appears driven by state and local asset preservation and renovation cycles where painting is a specified trade within broader scope.
