UNSPSC 11121710: Wood tar

UNSPSC 11121710 Wood tar, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product class that state and local governments rarely purchase directly; the recent solicitation record shows virtually no demand for wood tar itself. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code predominantly reflect roofing work — replacement, rehabilitation, repair, and materials supply — suggesting either a classification mismatch in the source data or use of wood tar as a historical component in legacy roofing specifications that no longer drives modern procurement activity. The actual work being solicited includes full roof replacements (membrane systems, slate tile, asphalt shingle, metal, and TPO), repair services on multiple roof types, comprehensive roofing materials catalogs (stocked and special-order), and related incidentals such as flashing, gutters, downspouts, fascia work, and structural repairs. Issuing bodies range across municipalities (Phoenix, Tucson, College Park, Madison, Tybee Island), counties (Santa Clara, Jackson, Pinal, Stephens County schools), special authorities (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, San Jacinto College), and multi-jurisdiction cooperative vehicles (Sourcewell), indicating fragmented demand across local government tiers. None of the recent opportunities name wood tar as a specified material or cost component; the code's relevance to actual procurement activity is unclear.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southwest (Arizona, California), Southeast (Georgia, Florida), and Midwest (Missouri, Wisconsin), with recent bids posted through June 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Tucson's comprehensive roofing supplies catalog solicitation (RFQ, July 29, 2026 response date), the City of Tybee Island's Guard House Roof Replacement (ITB, October 27, 2026 response date, $500-per-day liquidated damages for delay), Jackson County, Missouri's county-wide roofing services contract (ITB, June 16, 2026, 24-month term with 9.5 percent MBE participation goal and estimated annual spend of approximately $330,000), and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's roofing rehabilitation and repair services (ITB, June 10, 2026, two-year term with time-and-materials pricing). Most solicitations require five or more years' experience, active state roofing contractor licensing, commercial general liability insurance (typically $1 million to $2 million per occurrence), prevailing wage compliance where applicable, and manufacturer warranties of one to 50 years depending on system type. The code shows no material connection to the purchase of wood tar as an end product in state and local procurement.
