Recent solicitations show painting bundled with broader renovation scopes as well as standalone painting contracts. Issuing bodies include city and county governments, state departments (Health and Human Services, Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities, Department of Juvenile Justice), state universities and community colleges, water districts and municipal utilities, county sanitation and transit authorities, and school districts. Repeat buyers in the recent opportunities include Santa Clara County (multiple seismic and facility upgrade projects incorporating painting), City of DeBary and City of Huntsville in Florida, Gwinnett County and other Georgia municipalities, Washington state agencies and technical colleges, and Texas state facilities.
