NIGP 99261: Paint Testing Services

NIGP 99261 Paint Testing Services, an Item code, encompasses catalog discount sourcing for paint and painting supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles, exterior painting and siding project execution including surface preparation and finishing work, and lead-based paint risk assessment and clearance testing required for housing rehabilitation funded through federal community development grants. State and local governments procure under this code through a mix of issuing bodies: regional purchasing cooperatives managing multi-vendor paint supply agreements, municipal housing authorities executing building renovation projects with compliance requirements such as Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wages, and city housing and community development departments sourcing specialized environmental testing services for lead remediation compliance.
