UNSPSC 11121710: Wood tar

UNSPSC 11121710 Wood tar is a Commodity code that nominally names a single material input, but recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied to roofing repair, replacement, and installation services rather than wood tar procurement itself. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations presents a material classification concern: none of the opportunities in the dataset reference wood tar as a distinct line item or material specification. Instead, jurisdictions are using this code to tag comprehensive roofing service contracts that encompass inspection, maintenance, repair, replacement, and installation across multiple roofing system types (asphalt shingle, TPO, modified bitumen, built-up, metal, and standing seam), along with associated work such as flashing, gutters, downspouts, and structural member replacement. Issuing bodies span cities (Madison, Tucson, Tybee Island, Tallahassee, College Park), counties (Santa Clara, Jackson, DeKalb, Clay, Rockdale), and special-purpose districts (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, DeKalb County School District), with no clear concentration among a particular jurisdiction type. The geographic spread includes Wisconsin, California, Missouri, Georgia, Florida, and multistate cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell, reflecting activity across the country.

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Tucson's July 29, 2026 RFQ for roofing supplies (an indefinite-quantity catalog contract); the County of Santa Clara's July 7, 2026 ITB for as-needed roofing repair services at multiple countywide locations, requiring a C-39 Roofing Contractor's License and prevailing wages; Jackson County, Missouri's June 16, 2026 IFB for county-wide roofing services on a time-and-materials basis with an estimated annual spend of approximately $330,000 and an MBE participation goal of 9.5 percent; the City of Madison's August 6, 2026 RFB for a 3,600 square-foot asphalt shingle roof replacement with local vendor scoring preference and archaeological site compliance; and the City of Tallahassee's February 20, 2026 RFSQ to establish multiple term contracts for indefinite-quantity, as-needed roofing services. The code shows consistent activity across the first half of 2026, with multiple opportunities at various maturity stages through mid-July, suggesting steady demand for both emergency-response and planned roofing work among state and local governments.
